Germany will give all its remaining doses of the AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine to less developed countries in August, the government has decided.
The cabinet decided that at least 500,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine would be given to the Covax consortium, which aims to ensure poor countries get access to vaccines. Almost all vaccination has taken place in rich countries so far.
Around 80 per cent of the donated vaccines will be given via Covax, with another 20pc given directly to countries in the Western Balkans and members of the EU's Eastern Partnership — Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine — and Namibia, according to a Reuters report.
