Americans, Britons, and Canadians are finally receiving a vaccine for the new coronavirus. It will take several months to vaccinate everyone, but the end of the COVID-19 health crisis in these countries seems near. But for poorer countries, the end seems far away. The World Health Organization (WHO) created the COVAX program to provide vaccine doses to poor countries. It has, however, only secured a small percentage of the two billion doses it hopes to buy over the next year. The program has not confirmed any deals for vaccines. It also is short of money. COVAX is similar to the alliances GAVI and CEPI which seek to provide vaccines and other aid to prevent the spread of infectious diseases.
