Globally, 1.3 billion doses were promised to COVAX from wealthy countries but only 150 million have been delivered.
World Health Organization Director-General Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus asked the G20 leaders on Friday to immediately donate another 550 million doses so that 40 per cent of the world population can be vaccinated by year's end.
"Promises aren't translating into vaccines reaching the people that need them," he said in an open letter that was also signed by Prince Harry and Meghan, the Duke and Duchess of Sussex.
