Exercise for Equity: AMEX GBT supports UNICEF’s equitable vaccine distribution

As the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic endures, it perpetuates an unprecedented socioeconomic, humanitarian, and human rights crisis which is taking its toll on the most vulnerable worldwide.

UNICEF is leading efforts to procure and supply COVID-19 vaccines in what is the world’s largest and fastest ever procurement and supply of vaccines, as part of the global vaccine plan of the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access Facility (COVAX Facility) led by Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

By investing in COVID-19 vaccine-related efforts, you will provide UNICEF and partners with the operational support needed to address this unprecedented global response, including:
• Administering 1.4 billion COVID-19 vaccines to low-and middle-income countries by the end of 2021
• Fully vaccinating 30% of the population in low-income countries against COVID-19
• Delivering COVID-19 vaccines to 4 emergency setting countries through the Humanitarian Buffer

Every dollar adds up to big impact:
• $7 can cover the supply of 4 COVID-19 vaccine doses in a low-or middle-income country
• $30 can provide the delivery of 5 COVID-19 vaccine doses in a humanitarian setting
• $50 can provide 161 facemasks to keep health workers safe as they respond to the pandemic
• $100 can provide 1 cold box, capable of holding and regulating the temperature of 1,800 vaccine doses

This World Children’s Day, AMEX GBT is supporting UNICEF’s work to equitably distribute the vaccine and mitigate the negative consequences of COVID-19, to open-up borders and to get the world moving again.
