At the G7 Leaders' Summit in June 2021, the PM announced that the UK would donate 100 million Covid-19 vaccine doses to the world by June 2022. Of this pledge, at least 80% will be donated through COVAX. This is part of a wider commitment by G7 leaders to provide one billion doses to help vaccinate the world by the end of 2022. We will donate 30 million doses by the end of 2021.
