Australia’s partnership with COVAX delivers vaccines to our neighbours
Format
Senator the Hon Zed Seselja, Minister for International Development and the Pacific
The COVAX Facility has started rolling out the first round of doses of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines to Australia’s Pacific and Southeast Asian neighbours.
The COVAX Facility, a global vaccine sharing initiative, has allocated an initial 1 million doses to the Pacific and 25 million to Southeast Asia. Delivery of doses has commenced, with Fiji, Cambodia, Indonesia and Philippines so far receiving vaccines. Other eligible countries are expected to receive initial doses by April 2021.
There is no higher priority for Australia and countries in our region than access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. The Australian Government is committed to working together with our neighbours to save lives, help economies reopen and ensure our region’s stability.
