The president was speaking during a virtual global Covid-19 summit at the invitation of US President Joe Biden under the theme “Ending the Pandemic and Building Better Health Security to Prepare for the Next”.

“This summit must come up with a sustainable plan on how developing countries will be supported. Not only to meet targets around vaccination, oxygen, diagnostics, personal protective equipment but also for manufacturing. We must close the financing and supply gap for Covax, AVATT and other mechanisms,” said Ramaphosa on Wednesday.

Earlier, Biden announced that: “The US is buying another half a billion of doses of Pfizer to donate to low and middle income countries around the world. This is another half a billion doses that will all be shipped by this time next year. That brings our total commitment of donated vaccines to over 1.1 billion vaccines to be donated.”

Biden said this means that for every one shot administered to date in the US, a commitment has been made to give three shots to the rest of the world. In addition, Biden said the US was providing financing and helping to strengthen manufacturing in SA and produce more than 500-million doses of Johnson & Johnson in Africa for Africa in 2022. He said more than 160-million doses had been shipped to more than 100 countries.

“America’s donations are over half a billion Pfizer vaccines to Covax that I have announced before the G7 Summit in June and have already begun to ship,” he said.
