GLOBAL Covid-19 vaccine inequality is “a stain on our collective humanity,” campaigners charged yesterday as they urged G7 leaders to act ahead of a major summit.
The People’s Vaccine Alliance pointed out that more than a million people have died with the virus since the leaders last met and made pledges to increase global supplies in February.
The campaign group, which includes Health Justice Initiative, Oxfam, and Unaids, calculated that people living in G7 countries — Britain, the US, Canada, France, Germany, Italy and Japan — were 77 times more likely to have access to a jab than those living in the world’s poorest countries.
