TOKYO -- The head of Gavi, the global vaccine alliance, has called for more vaccine sharing and additional funding from developed countries to urgently deliver more doses to poor countries as COVID-19 variants evolve and spread.
Gavi, which operates the WHO-backed COVAX vaccine initiative, hopes to raise $2 billion from developed countries and the private sector, including $700 million from Japan, Gavi Chief Executive Seth Berkley told Nikkei Asia.
