To: We, the under signed, call on the UK government to donate 100 million Covid-19 vaccines to the poorest countries of the world, by the end of March.

Vaccines For The World

Why is this important? Everyone should have access to high standards of essential healthcare, regardless of an individual's ability to pay, or their country's economic circumstances. If we do not vaccinate the entire population of the world, mutations of Covid-19 will continue to emerge and spread, causing alarm, economic disruption and strain on services, as well as death. Yes, it costs money to share vaccines, but we are currently paying the price for not being generous enough so far. Donating 100 million vaccines to poorer nations by the end of March would represent a significant increase in the current rate of progress in this area.

Why is this important?

I encourage everyone to join me in campaigning on this issue, out of a sense of health justice, and compassion - suffering is suffering, whereever it happens. It is appropriate to show recognition of our good fortune in having the choice of whether or not to be vaccinated, and to want to share that with others less fortunate. Thank you for supporting this campaign.
