CARICOM calls on developed countries to make COVID-19 vaccines available

By BBN Staff: The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) has issued a statement expressing its dissatisfaction and concern about the inequitable access to COVID-19 vaccines.

CARICOM is calling for equitable access to vaccines in order to curb the impact of the pandemic, to protect citizens and bolster the economy.

With the support of CARICOM, some member states are engaged in procuring vaccines through the African Union’s African Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP), as well as bilateral arrangements.

CARICOM further urges developed countries, and especially those in their neighborhood whose populations travel frequently to the region, and who host their largest diaspora populations, to make some available to the Community, initially as an interim supply given the immediacy of the need.
