WTO Agreement on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights and Covid-19 Vaccines: Discussion
Mr. Oliver O'Connor:
I do not have much to add, except from what was in our statement. It is clear a lot of work is going on in Africa and with the Africa CDC about studies on how they can effectively roll out vaccines. A recent study stated that the most effective measure is to target older people earlier than the general population when vaccinating. Studies are being done in multiple countries on how to use the vaccines we have most effectively and more quickly. In that respect, the industry is collaborating with them in doing so.
