Ghebreyesus has on Friday, Jan. 8, 2021 appealed to makers of COVID-19 vaccines and the wealthy countries buying them to “stop making bilateral deals” that hurt a U.N.-backed initiative to make the vaccines more available. He called on countries that have more vaccines than they need to make some available to the COVAX Facility — the U.N.-backed project to get vaccines deployed widely.
