Global vaccine news: COVAX says deals are in place to access nearly 2 billion doses of #covid19 vaccine. "For the vast majority of these deals, COVAX has guaranteed access to a portion of the first wave of production, followed by volume scales as further supply becomes available”
The new deals include:
- an advance purchase agreement with AstraZeneca for 170 million doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford candidate
