CVD-MaliProfessor Samba Sow and the other WHO Special Envoys on COVID-19 recently published an important call for vaccine equity in a number of leading global publications.
Their analysis is available in French, Arabic, Spanish and other languages and can be read in English on the website of The Guardian newspaper here.
For our team here at CVD-Mali, World Immunization Week is always a notable event on the calendar.
As the Center for Vaccine Development in Mali, our core work has always revolved around the development, trial and implementation of safe and effective vaccines, in Mali primarily but also in the wider West African region.
This year’s World Immunization Week takes place in a more charged context than usual. The whole world, it seems, is talking about vaccines and vaccination.
In a recent blogpost, we discussed the many challenges associated with the brand new Covid-19 vaccines that have become available, in record time, and as a result of unprecedented scientific achievement.
We made a plea for equitable distribution of these vaccines because immunity against COVID-19 for all, in all countries around the world, is our best hope of putting an end to a global pandemic.
