Over 6.2 million people have died from the COVID-19 pandemic. It has further disrupted access to essential services including immunization and put tens of millions at risk of contracting vaccine-preventable diseases. The Biden Administration has called on the world to collectively end the COVID-19 pandemic as soon as possible, and has introduced ambitious targets in three critical areas for ending this pandemic and preventing and preparing for the next: Vaccinate the World; Save Lives Now; and Build Back Better. As noted in the COVID-19 Global Response and Recovery Framework (GRRF), the U.S. government (USG) has committed to supporting the target of vaccinating 70% of the world population by the end of 2022.

In addition to widespread, equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines, the key to controlling the pandemic lies in implementing a comprehensive public health and clinical strategy in every country to prevent transmission and expand access to evidence-based, high-quality care and treatment for patients with moderate to severe COVID-19 infections. While vaccine delivery increases, countries will need continued support to prevent and treat COVID-19.
