Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, what steps his Department is taking to assist Commonwealth members in the Caribbean to roll out covid-19 vaccines.

Building on its £548 million commitment to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC) for the 92 most vulnerable countries, which in the Caribbean includes Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, St Lucia, and St Vincent and the Grenadines, the UK will continue to make the case for Caribbean countries to benefit from all vaccination campaigns under COVAX.

There have been successful COVAX vaccine deliveries to 12 independent Caribbean Commonwealth countries - Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Trinidad and Tobago.
