Accelerating COVID-19 vaccine deployment

The first meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors under the Indonesian Presidency was held on 17 and 18 February 2022. The communique requested the WHO and WB, and implementing partners work further with countries to report on obstacles to, and accelerate, vaccine deployment strategies to get more COVID-19 shots into arms. This report, produced to answer that request, has been prepared with the support of six international bodies involved in work to support higher levels of COVID-19 vaccination coverage and the leadership of the COVID-19 Vaccine Delivery Partnership (CoVDP) and Act-Accelerator (ACT-A) Hub. The WHO and WB worked in collaboration with the IMF and WTO as members of the Multilateral Leaders Task Force on COVID-19 as well as Gavi and UNICEF as members of the CoVDP to co-produce this report.
