World Bank President David Malpass called on countries on Thursday to contribute their “excess” doses of Covid-19 vaccines to low-income countries in the COVAX facility struggling to inoculate their most vulnerable including health workers.
 
"Many countries now have dollars available to spend on doses but rapid deliveries aren't available. I would like to underline here the importance for countries that have the prospect of excess vaccine supplies to release them as soon as possible," he told a fund-raising event of the Gavi Vaccine Alliance.
