Peoples Vaccine Alliance Ireland Campaign Launch
Major Irish NGO’s, INMO and Access to Medicines Ireland to form A Peoples Vaccine Alliance of Ireland as a global common good.
People’s Vaccine alliance IRELAND
‘Solidarity, in an inter-dependent world, must mean . . . Standing shoulder to shoulder with those in other countries, especially poorer nations with fewer financial resources, so that, for example, vaccines are made available, accessible and affordable for all’
PRESIDENT OF IRELAND, MICHAEL D. HIGGINS (MAY, 2021)
This initiative is to be formally launched July 8th at 1.00 pm and is the logical response to the shared objective of timely and widespread global Covid 19 vaccination. This will require greatly increased global vaccine production capacity with a broad geographical manufacturing base. The alliance will seek to create conditions whereby any qualified vaccine producer will to manufacture will be accommodated. This will require the removal of any legal barriers (TRIPS Waiver*) and the sharing of manufacturing know-how (WHO C-TAP*).
Our campaign website is now live
Global access to vaccines will only be possible if many more vaccine manufacturers are permitted to produce vaccines and if pharmaceutical companies agree to share their recipes and know-how. Will you call for a #PeoplesVaccine?
