International Campaigns Director Lisa Woods says many
organisations will welcome the move today.
"This is a
big move in safeguarding global public health so we welcome
the announcement and are thankful for it. Crucial to this
change were all the organisations who’ve been pushing for
this. We, along with 42 other groups signed a letter calling
on the Prime Minister to support a ‘people’s vaccine’.
So, thank you to these groups who stood up, this will save
lives, and we will all be better off because of it."
