So far, less than 10 percent of the population in low-income countries —
and less than 4 percent of Africa’s population — are fully vaccinated.
Around the world, millions of health care workers have not had their
shots.

By contrast, studies project that the wealthiest countries will be sitting
on a surplus of more than 600 million vaccine doses by the end of 2021.
That is enough to give every adult across the African continent one shot.

This global vaccine inequity is completely unacceptable. Not only will it
cause immense — and avoidable — suffering and death in
low-and-middle-income countries, but it will prolong the global pandemic
by allowing dangerous new variants to spread.

to fight for global vaccine solidarity, co-hosted by our partners in the
UK who have been fighting for health care justice.

Together, we’ll work to build the movement necessary to challenge
corporate greed and ensure vaccine justice around the world.

Global Vaccine Solidarity Text Bank and Workshop

Will you
join us and our activist partners in the UK on Sunday, Sept. 26, at
11:30am PT/2:30pm ET?

Together, we’ll take action to break out of the systems that created and
are enforcing vaccine inequality.

The truth is, we can vaccinate the world right now. Countries in the
global south have the capacity to manufacture and distribute Covid-19
vaccines, but pharmaceutical companies are blocking them, spending
millions on lobbying to preserve intellectual property barriers — even
though Covid vaccine development was largely publicly funded. No one
should die for drug company profits.

At this text bank and workshop on Sunday, you’ll have the chance to take
direct action alongside other volunteers in the UK fighting for health
care justice, directly advancing our movement for global vaccine
solidarity.

[ [link removed] ]So what do you say — will you join us to learn about the
path forward to ending vaccine inequity?

Thank you for standing with us. We’re looking forward to taking action
with you on Sunday!

In solidarity,

National Nurses United
