EU "WHO 코로나19 백신 공동구매에 4억 유로 제공할 것"

It's time now for our Tuesday edition of Arirang's 'The World Now'. I'm Kim Jae-hee.
Let's start off with a pledge from the European Commission to contribute to the World Health Organization-led COVID-19 vaccine initiative.
The initiative, dubbed COVAX facility, aims to ensure global access to an eventual COVID-19 vaccine.
The European Commission said Monday that it's ready to join the vaccine initiative, and provide financial aid.
"And the Commission will also make a contribution of 400 million euros in guarantees to the COVAX facility and its goals. This contribution will help buy and deliver doses of future vaccines for low and middle income countries."
She also added the European Commission would continue to negotiate with pharmaceutical companies to buy vaccines on behalf of EU member states.
