CAMPAIGNERS called on “hypocritical” Boris Johnson yesterday to agree to a Covid-19 vaccine “patent waiver” to allow faster worldwide manufacture and distribution of the jabs.
It comes ahead of a virtual G7 summit hosted today by Britain, during which the Prime Minister is set to talk about improving access to vaccines in developing countries.
Mr Johnson has called for more manufacturing of vaccines, but campaigners have said that this can only happen if the G7 agreed to drop “opposition to the patent waiver.”
