Australia accused of delaying campaign to allow generic COVID vaccines
29 April 2021 - Australia is among a group of rich countries accused of standing in the way of some of the world’s poorest, which are seeking to free up the manufacture of COVID-19 vaccines at a meeting of World Trade Organisation member states on Friday.
Backed by more than 115 other countries, India and South Africa will appeal for patents to be temporarily waived on COVID vaccines and technology until global herd immunity is achieved.
