John, President Biden recently announced that many Americans will be eligible for booster doses this fall. While this announcement is an important step toward protecting the health of Americans, we won’t stem the spread and impact of the virus and end this pandemic until vaccines are available in every country, including the world’s poorest. In order to save lives, reduce the emergence of variants, and stop the spread of COVID-19, the U.S. and wealthy countries must share more doses immediately. John, will you sign our petition encouraging President Biden to accelerate sharing much needed vaccines with low-income countries?

Right now, only 1.4 percent of people in low-income countries have received at least one COVID-19 vaccine dose. That means healthy, young individuals in the U.S. will be eligible for a 3rd shot of protection before many healthcare workers in Africa can get a single dose. Thus far, the United States has led the world in donating doses, but we know that the U.S. and other wealthy countries can do more to get vaccines to countries in need. The longer we allow the virus to spread and mutate around the world, the more waves of infections and variants we will see. Join us and sign the petition today! Thank you, Brett Jacobson, Campaigns Team |
