Recent months have seen unprecedented initiatives to ensure that there is equitable access to treatments for COVID-19 across the world.Above all, in the words of one of the initiatives, “The People’s Vaccine,” the aim is to make a future vaccine for COVID-19 “available for all people, in all countries, free of charge.”

But how realistic are these initiatives when faced with intransigent nation states, governments, international organisations and the pharmaceutical industry? What empirical grounds do they stand on given the ‘scandal of access’ that saw Africa blocked from HIV/AIDS treatments for almost a decade, while 800,000 unvaccinated children still die of pneumonia every year?

This LIVE Webcast will bring together leading policymakers and campaigners from Africa and Europe to realistically appraise these initiatives.
