Dr. Yasmin Ali Haque, UNICEF Representative in India, visits COVID-19 vaccine manufacturer plant in Pune, Maharashtra, India. UNICEF is leading in the procurement and delivery of COVID-19 vaccines for 82 low- and lower middle-income countries participating in COVAX. The COVAX Facility, co-led by Gavi, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and WHO, together with UNICEF, aims to provide at least 2 billion doses of approved COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2021.
