People affected by conflict and insecurity are at risk of being left behind in the COVID-19 recovery. - "When a pandemic strikes, we are only safe if everyone is safe," said UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres. - "The only way out of this pandemic is to ensure vaccinations are available for all of us", said Henrietta Fore, executive director of the United Nations Children's Fund. - "China has officially joined COVAX and is in close communication with the WHO and other sponsors of the plan, working together to make vaccines a global public good and make them more accessible and affordable to developing countries," said Wang Wenbin, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson.
