In May, the Independent Pandemic Preparedness and Response Panel (IPPPR) called for the redistribution of one billion doses of coronavirus vaccine from high-income countries to meet the needs of low- and middle-income countries up to September, as well as another billion by mid-2022.

"The world is far from achieving these goals," Helen Clark, co-chair of IPPPR at the United Nations General Assembly, told a news conference Wednesday. "Some commitments have been made, but much more needs to be done, and it can be done urgently," she added.
