The number of doses of COVID-19 vaccine delivered by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) to Latin America and the Caribbean reached 100 million on Tuesday, thanks to the efforts of the organisation’s Revolving Fund, the procurement and delivery partner of COVAX in the region.
The latest batch of vaccines includes 151,200 doses of Moderna vaccine as part of the COVAX support to Haiti, and 1,511,640 doses of Pfizer vaccines for Ecuador donated by Spain.
PAHO Director Dr Carissa F. Etienne said “The 100 million doses mark a significant milestone.”
The PAHO Revolving Fund is the designated procurement agency for COVAX in the Americas. Leveraging over four decades of experience in vaccine procurement, the Revolving Fund has now supplied 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses to 33 countries.
