Johnson said on Thursday that the leaders of the Group of Seven nations meeting in Cabis Bay in southwest England this weekend will pledge to vaccinate the world by the end of 2022.

The British leader wrote in The Times of London that it is time for rich countries to “take up their responsibilities and vaccinate the world, because no one can be properly protected until everyone is protected.”

But he has faced criticism because the UK has not sent any doses abroad and has cut its international aid budget on the grounds that the pandemic has hit the economy.

Johnson said on Thursday that Britain would donate “millions” of agents from excess stocks-although he did not specify when.

Johnson also pointed out that the British government helped fund the development of Oxford University’s AstraZeneca vaccine, which accounts for one-third of the global vaccine dose.

President Joe Biden announced on Thursday that the United States will purchase hundreds of millions more doses of Pfizer vaccine next year to share with poorer countries.

The United States’ new commitment is to purchase and donate 500 million doses of Pfizer vaccine, which will be distributed to 92 low-income countries and the African Union through the Global COVAX Alliance, bringing the first stable supply of mRNA vaccines to the countries most in need.

The United States will now become COVAX’s largest vaccine donor, in addition to its largest single funder, the United States has pledged to provide $4 billion. So far, the Global Alliance has distributed only 81 million doses of vaccines, and parts of the world, especially Africa, remain a vaccine wasteland.

Johnson’s call is one of many aspects of the global pandemic and is expected to be discussed when leaders gather in the UK for the summit.

Before the meeting, EU leaders called for an unfettered investigation of the origin of the COVID-19 pandemic that was originally discovered in central China, while criticizing the World Health Organization’s preliminary investigation.

Last month, Biden ordered US intelligence officials to “redouble their efforts” to investigate the origin of the coronavirus, including any possibility that this clue might lead to a Chinese laboratory.
