Vaccine hoarding hurting everyone, warns Galvez

Vaccine czar Carlito Galvez Jr. on Saturday said vaccine hoarding was hurting everyone, including the world’s response to the Covid-19 pandemic.

“We join the UN Secretary-General in lamenting the unfortunate state of global Covid-19 vaccination, and fully align with the course of action of the Asean (Association of Southeast Asian Nations), the Non­ Aligned Movement, the G77 and other like-minded member states,” Galvez said in his speech during the special ministerial meeting of the United Nations Economic and Social Council themed “A Vaccine for All.”
