Finance Secretary Carlos G. Dominguez III called for the just and equitable distribution of coronavirus vaccines to ensure the access of lower-income and developing countries to life-saving medical interventions amid the prolonged pandemic.
At the recent 54th Annual Meeting of the Asian Development Bank (ADB), Dominguez said the COVID-19 pandemic “did not only widen the inequalities within societies but amplified the disparities between countries” as shown by the uneven allocation of the vaccines.

Dominguez noted that developed economies were not only able to provide higher levels of stimulus measures, but also able to undertake their mass inoculations at a faster pace than the developing countries because of their vast financial resources.
