The COVAX Facility is on track to deliver at least 2 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccines by the end of 2021, including at least 1.3 billion doses in up to 92 low- and middle-income economies via the Advance Market Commitment (AMC). The UK is committed to rapid equitable access to safe and effective vaccines, and is among the largest bilateral donors to the COVAX AMC, providing £548 million. The UK welcomes COVAX's recently announced agreement for up to 40 million doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which will begin to be rolled out shortly. Gavi has published on its website the current COVAX supply forecasts for 2021, subject to regulatory approvals.
