Vaccines are the key to ending the COVID pandemic, but only if we get shots in arms around the world. As wealthy countries continue to hoard doses, just 1% of people in low-income countries have received at least one dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Even worse, some wealthy countries are discussing giving booster shots to their fully vaccinated populations while half of the world’s population has yet to recieve a single shot.

It’s outrageous that a healthy, vaccinated American could receive a third shot before a nurse or grandmother in South Africa could get a single jab. And, if wealthy countries continue to hoard their billions of excess vaccine doses, more variants will emerge and more preventable deaths will occur.

It’s urgent for the United States to commit to sharing more vaccines. The Biden administration has committed to sharing 580 million doses globally, but the US government has purchased enough vaccine doses to vaccinate 100% of the American population, including children, and still have hundreds of millions of doses left over.

Action is needed now. Sign our petition to tell President Biden to share vaccines!
