The Philippines has raised concern over the “hoarding” of the world’s limited supply of coronavirus vaccines and called anew for the fair and timely access to the preventive drug.
“We join the UN Secretary-General in lamenting the unfortunate state of global COVID-19 vaccination, and fully align with the course of action of ASEAN, the Non Aligned Movement, the G77 and other like-minded Member States,” Galvez said during the ministerial assembly on “A Vaccine for All” Friday. “The Philippines remains resolute in championing a policy of ensuring universal, fair, equitable, and timely access to COVID-19 vaccines as long-term solutions to building back better, amid the emergence of new variants and the global scarcity that has been challenging vaccine rollouts in some countries,” he said.
“Indeed, no one is safe unless everyone is safe. But ultimately, if we are to win this battle and prevent the virus from mutating in the most desolate and harshest of conditions, we must faithfully fulfill our collective duties and act on our common humanity to end this brutal war that has already taken so much from us,” he added.
“The Philippines fully supports and commits to this, as much as it fully aligns with the UN Secretary-General’s call for a Global Vaccination Plan so that vaccines reach every developing and least developed country without any further delay,” he said.
