In total, COVAX has delivered more than 20 million doses of vaccine to 20 countries. In the next week, COVAX will deliver 14.4 million doses to a further 31 countries.   The volume of doses being distributed through COVAX is still relatively small. One of our main priorities now is to increase the ambition of COVAX to help all countries end the pandemic.  This means urgent action to ramp up production. Next week, WHO and our COVAX partners will meet with partners from governments and the industry to identify bottlenecks in production and discuss how to solve them.  Media briefing audio link (Length 1hrs 05mins):  https://terrance.who.int/mediacentre/presser/WHO-AUDIO_Emergencies_Coronavirus_Press_Conference_05MAR2021.mp3 News edit link (TRT  5mins 29sec):  https://who.canto.global/b/T42N2  Media assets and information on COVID-19 https://who.canto.global/v/coronavirus   Webinar for journalists on "Covering the COVID-19 Vaccines" Webinar for journalists on "Covering the COVID-19 Vaccines", held in partnership between WHO, UNESCO and The Knight Center for Journalism in the Americas at the University of Texas at Austin.
