Can you imagine waiting another three years to receive a COVID-19 vaccination? According to many experts, that timeline will be a reality for billions of people around the world.

India’s latest COVID-19 surge makes the stakes clear: vaccine distribution is deeply unequal, and that’s costing hundreds of thousands of lives.

The World Health Organization created a COVID-19 Technology Access Pool (C-TAP) for companies to share their know-how with manufacturers in other countries — but so far, no company has joined it. Not Pfizer. Not Moderna. Not Johnson & Johnson. Big Pharma needs to start putting people before profits, and give everyone #AFairShot. Our best chance of staying safe is to ensure COVID-19 vaccines are available for everyone, everywhere.

Act Now: Urge Pfizer, Moderna, Johnson & Johnson, and other Big Pharma companies to join C-TAP and give everyone #AFairShot.
