Details | 2001 WTO Doha Declaration and Advance Market Commitment (AMC), which were both designed to promote supply of medicines and vaccines for HIV/AIDS and neglected tropical diseases in the beginning of this century, were applied for furthering COVID-19 vaccine supply to developing countries in 2021. AMC was developed into COVAX, which is a COVID-19 vaccine distribution mechanism. Both COVAX and self-motivated vaccine developers individually contributed to swift inventions of a variety of COVID-19 vaccines and considerably low prices of them. The centralized policy instrument, i.e. COVAX, and decentralized innovation activities made by private pharmaceuticals firms, played important and reinforcing roles each other. |
