Original title: world Bank: existing US $12 billion vaccine funds can help purchase and distribute vaccines
World Health Organization (WHO), the World Trade Organization, the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank held a joint press conference on June 1, local time, calling for fair distribution of COVID-19 vaccine and increasing funding for the global response to the epidemic.
At the press conference, World Bank President Malpas said that the World Bank now has US $12 billion in vaccine funding, which can help some countries purchase and distribute COVID-19 vaccine and encourage vaccination. It is expected that by the end of June this year, the World Bank's approved vaccine-related projects will be operated in more than 50 countries, which will be able to use vaccines immediately through methods such as the COVID-19 Vaccine implementation Plan.
