Khairy said COVAX has failed to ensure people in poorer countries were not left behind. He accused richer countries of hoarding vaccines with enough doses to inoculate their citizens 3 to 5 times over.

Science, Technology and Innovation Minister Khairy Jamaluddin urged the World Bank today to speak out against global COVID-19 vaccine inequity amid mounting concerns that hoarding among richer economies would widen existing economic divides.

Khairy also said the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access programme, set up to ensure the people in poorer countries were not left behind in efforts to inoculate them against the coronavirus, has been “an abysmal failure.” “And I think the World Bank owes it to developing countries to be a strong voice for vaccine equity at the global stage, to remind the rich advanced countries that what has taken place over the last few months fell short of being respectable and responsible,” he added.
