Draft resolution on COVID-19 vaccines

Abstract

The Conference of Ministers, Recognizing the serious threat that COVID-19 poses to the health, social and economic development of peoples and countries around the world, and the rollback in the gains recorded in Africa towards the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals and Agenda 2063: The Africa We Want, of the African Union. The Conference of Ministers, Recognizing that African countries escaped the worst of the first wave of the pandemic in 2020 but the second wave is spreading fast across the continent and health systems are in danger of collapsing, and that the longer the virus is left to ravage African countries without immunization, the longer all of humanity remains at risk, because no one is safe until we are all safe.
