The UK Government is the second largest donor to Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance - committing £1.65 billion from 2021-2025. Gavi's COVID programme is meeting all the demand for COVID vaccines in lower income countries. Gavi also provides delivery support to ensure the vaccines get to the people that need them. This programme will run until the end of 2025. Since the onset of the pandemic Gavi has delivered over 2 billion doses of COVID vaccines.
