Ecuador is part of a list of more than 10 countries to which the US will donate vaccines, through Covax

Posted On 04 Jun 2021

The director of the  Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) , Carissa F. Etienne, thanked this Thursday, June 3, 2021, for the support of the  United States government , through its plan to share doses of vaccines against covid- 19. It will do so through the  Covax initiative .

Ecuador is part of a list of more than 10 countries to which the US will donate vaccines, through Covax

“The actions announced today by the  White House  are a good step forward in our effort to bring  vaccines  to the arms of our populations in  Latin America and the Caribbean, ” he said. “We are grateful for this dose-sharing initiative and urge other countries with  surplus vaccines  to follow the example of the  United States .”

The  US government  reported that it plans to send a first round of 25 million doses, including 19 million delivered through the  Covax Mechanism , to countries around the world. They are “around six million for countries in  South and Central America,  including  Ecuador . In addition, Brazil, Argentina, Colombia, Costa Rica, Peru, Paraguay, Bolivia, Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Panama, Haiti and other countries of the Caribbean Community, as well as the Dominican Republic ”, specified the  White House .

The communication also states: “The  United States  shares vaccines within our region and beyond our borders. We initially provided  doses  for our  closest neighbors  : Canada and Mexico. Our approach to dose sharing prioritizes  Latin America and the Caribbean  on a per capita basis  . “

The PAHO Director   noted that “effective vaccines are a beacon of hope in this crisis and we must do everything in our power to ensure that  more doses are  available to all the countries of the  Americas . Regional solidarity, including the  donation of vaccines , will be key to overcoming the current  shortage of supplies . “

“This  pandemic  is far from over and is severely hitting  Latin America and the Caribbean , affecting our health, our economies and entire societies. However, only 4% of our citizens have completed their  vaccination schedule “, emphasized Etienne. “The region is an  epicenter  of suffering from the virus. It should also be a vaccination epicenter ”.

“Our most urgent need continues to be to obtain  additional vaccines  and, while we appreciate the support of the  United States , I also want to reiterate our call for more vaccine donations to be made to the countries of the  Americas , which carry a high  burden. epidemiological  and do not have enough doses to cover a high proportion of their population, “he added.

To date, more than 18.9 million doses of vaccines have been delivered through the  Covax Mechanism  to 31 countries in the  Americas . The  PAHO  and its Revolving Fund works with governments, producers and other partners to ensure that more vaccines can come to  Latin America and the Caribbean , which are urgently needed to save lives.
