Petition Action

Support the waiver of intellectual property rights for COVID19 vaccines

Petition Details

The government must ask pharmaceutical companies to waiver all intellectual property right for COVID19 vaccines to ensure that there is better access.

We need more southern manufacturers of the already established COVID19 vaccines to ensure no country is left unprotected.

Additional Information

The dire situation in India will soon be replicated across low income countries. Not all countries have the economic stability to enforce lockdowns and isolation.

Vaccines have already shown early signs of wide scale protection of transmission and severity of COVID19 infections. Many countries are asking for the rights to produce these vaccines in house.

Global coverage of the vaccine is required to eradicate COVID19. This is a pandemic not an epidemic
