Finding
In June 2021, the Government of Japan and Gavi co-hosted the COVAX AMC Summit online to fund equitable access to safe, effective, and quality-assured vaccines for developing countries through the COVAX Facility. Prime Minister Suga called for further solidarity and commitment from the international community to fight against the COVID-19 pandemic and achieve universal health coverage. Japan's government emphasized the concept of "last mile support" to deliver vaccines. As a result of this meeting, many governments and the private sector expressed their willingness to contribute additional funds.
