Event: International forum: Global Business Ethics and Covid-19 Vaccines. 5 October 2021

The forum Addresses the global inequity of trials, intellectual property and distribution.

Moderator: Prof. Penelope Weller

Over a year and a half into the COVID-19 pandemic, most people would agree that the rapid rate of vaccine development and distribution is a nothing short of miraculous. More than 5.6 billion vaccine doses have been administered worldwide, equal to 73 doses for every 100 people. Yet, vaccine development and distribution has been marred by inequality. While some countries reached a vaccination rate that allowed citizens to resume something close to a normal life in relative safety at the start of 2021, 24 countries were yet to vaccinate 1% of the population by September 2021.

This event was held on Tuesday, 5 October 2021 - 6:00 PM – 7:30 PM AEST
