WASHINGTON - The United States has recently released a draft urging global leaders to endorse ambitious targets for ending the COVID-19 pandemic. It urged the global leaders to ensure that seventy per cent of the world's population is vaccinated against COVID by 2022.
The three-page draft also invited the countries, international organisations, and private sector groups to a virtual summit of COVID-19, planned by the United States on the interests of the United Nations General Assembly.
The document has also requested countries with "relevant capabilities" to donate a billion more vaccine doses and facilitate the delivery of two billion doses already perpetrated.
Furthermore, the draft solicited more affluent countries to provide $2 billion to maintain the bulk liquid oxygen supply, donate at least one billion test kits by 2022 for poverty-stricken countries, and donate $3 billion for COVID-19 therapeutic medicines by 2022.
