Published May 10, 2021, 3:16 PM 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.
