As we prepare to transition to 2022, we are grateful for the friendships, strengthened partnerships and progress accomplished toward U.S. and Nigerian goals this past year. However, thanks to renewed global health collaboration efforts, vaccine development and distribution is gradually making headway. Through robust global dialogue and ingenuity, we will continue to build global health security in the new year together. In fact, we have many reasons to remain positive about the progress made this year toward our shared goals.
