Statement by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) on COVID-19 Vaccine Availability

Submitted by webmaster on Wed, 01/13/2021 - 23:11

As the world grapples with the challenge of controlling the COVID-19 pandemic, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is deeply concerned at the current prospect of inequitable access to vaccines to address the pandemic, especially for frontline workers and vulnerable populations.

The reality is that small states will find it difficult to compete in the market place to ensure equitable access for vaccines.

Given the transmissibility of the virus, all countries are vulnerable and should work together.
