In the US, Global Citizen wants the Biden administration to increase Covid-19 vaccine access by sharing at least 350 million doses with the poorest countries by the end of September. In May, Global Citizen sponsored Vax Live, which generated more than 26 million Covid-19 vaccine doses and 302 million US dollars for programmes aimed at a more equitable distribution of vaccines.
