Ireland delivers just a quarter of promised Covid vaccines to poorer nations

Robbie Silverman of Oxfam said: “We have given over control of vaccine supply to a small number of pharmaceutical companies, who are prioritising their own profits."

Ireland has delivered just over a quarter of the 1.3 million vaccines it promised to low-income countries, according to a new report published by the People’s Vaccine Alliance.

The report found that out of 1.8 billion Covid vaccines promised by rich nations, just 14% have been delivered to date.
