A Vatican diplomat has called for a coordinated rollout of COVID-19 vaccines which ensures that the poor are not left behind.
Archbishop Ivan Jurkovič, permanent representative of the Holy See to the United Nations and other international organizations in Geneva, addressed a global patent network on Dec. 9.
“Access for all to affordable medicines, tools, vaccines, diagnostics and treatment for COVID-19 is paramount for a recovery from the crisis: no one should be left behind,” Jurkovič said.
