A fund-raising event organised by the Gavi vaccine alliance and the United States secured more than $300 million in fresh funds and Covid-19 doses for the COVAX vaccine-sharing facility, USAID Acting Administrator Gloria Steele said on Thursday.
"Investment in COVAX is a prerequisite for recovery ...ending the acute phase of the pandemic is currently the best economic decision for any country," Jose Manuel Barroso, chair of the Gavi vaccine alliance, said after the three-hour event hosted by the organisation.
