Team Europe remains at the forefront of global efforts to ensure international access to vaccines, with a €2.47 billion contribution to the COVAX initiative. Thanks to this, COVAX deliveries are picking up speed and to date over €40.5 million doses of vaccine have been delivered to more than 100 countries worldwide.
