COVAX

COVAX (COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access) er en international alliance dannet tidligt i coronaviruspandemien 2020 af Verdenssundhedsorganisationen (WHO) under Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI).
I samarbejde med Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) vil alliancen etablere en hurtig og bred fordeling blandt fremtidige COVID-19-vacciner blandt alle lande med behov. CEPI understøtter en række vacciner, som alle i denne alliance kan modtage hvis vaccinerne lykkes. Alliancen sigter mod at mellem- og lavindkomstlande har god adgang til vacciner.[1]

This illustration, created at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), reveals ultrastructural morphology exhibited by coronaviruses. Note the spikes that adorn the outer surface of the virus, which impart the look of a corona surrounding the virion, when viewed electron microscopically. A novel coronavirus, named Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), was identified as the cause of an outbreak of respiratory illness first detected in Wuhan, China in 2019. The illness caused by this virus has been named coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).
