World Bank says will boost COVID-19 vaccine funding to $20 bln – Reuters
WASHINGTON, June 30 (Reuters) - The World Bank on Wednesday pledged to boost available funding for COVID-19 vaccine purchases and deployment to $20 billion from a previous target of $12 billion, citing a sharp increase in overall financing demand from developing countries.
World Bank President David Malpass said the global development bank had already provided more than $4 billion to 51 developing countries for the purchase and deployment of COVID-19 vaccines, and would add billions for 25 more countries soon.
"Much more will follow in coming weeks," Malpass told reporters, noting that a total of 41 requests had been received from African countries, where less than half the population has been vaccinated.

One of ugliest aspects of vaccine inequity

Even today low-income countries are falling short of rudimentary coverage!

Vaccine equity has improved but hardly so for the group of low-income countries (LIC)
The purple line shows the share in primary vaccinations as a ratio to the share in global population
It's still close to 0 and would be even worse if we add boosters
