Working with the world's leading airlines and freight providers to accelerate efforts to distribute COVID-19 vaccines, as soon as they are available, in more than 92 countries. To begin preparations, UNICEF, together with the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the International Air Transport Association (IATA), last week informed the world's main airlines about the requirements for capacity and analyzed ways to transport nearly 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines in 2021. Added to this are the 1 billion syringes that must be transported by sea. This new meeting comes shortly after the first in a series of online meetings organized by UNICEF to discuss the transport of COVID-19 vaccines. More than 350 allies from the logistics industry participated in that historic occasion, including air cargo agents, shipping companies and international logistics companies. “As work continues to develop.

We need everyone's hands on deck as we prepare to deliver COVID-19 vaccine doses, syringes AOL Email List and more personal protective equipment to frontline workers around the world. By protecting these workers, we are ultimately protecting the millions of boys and girls who depend on their fundamental services,” he added.

UNICEF is leading efforts to procure and supply vaccines from manufacturers with whom it has agreements under the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility (COVAX Facility). In collaboration with PAHO, UNICEF will coordinate purchasing and delivery to 92 low- and middle-income countries as quickly and safely as possible.
