Team Europe (the EU, its institutions and all 27 Member States) is on track to exceed its initial goal of sharing 100 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines with low and middle-income countries by the end of 2021. It now foresees sharing 200 million doses by the end of 2021.

Team Europe had initially announced plans to share at least 100 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines with low and middle-income countries by the end of 2021. President Ursula von der  had announced that most of the vaccines would be contributed through COVAX.

“Team Europe takes its responsibility in helping the world fight the virus, everywhere. Vaccination is key – that's why it is essential to ensure access to Covid-19 vaccines to countries worldwide. We will be sharing more than 200 million doses of Covid-19 vaccines with low and middle-income countries by the end of this year,” von der Leyen said.
