Two years into the COVID-19 pandemic, the vast majority of people in low-income nations still do not have access to COVID vaccines, test kits and treatments — an avoidable tragedy that’s causing thousands of needless deaths abroad each day, while also giving rise to dangerous variants like Omicron and Delta that are prolonging the pandemic everywhere.

To prevent wave after wave of additional COVID variants, the United States must help make COVID vaccines, diagnostics and medicines available worldwide.

The “End the Pandemic Now” plan in Congress (H. Con. Res. 60) lays out a clear roadmap for how to increase global production of critical medical supplies by temporarily waiving pharmaceutical monopoly rules that block increased production, by sharing vaccine-making recipes and know-how with qualified producers, and by helping fund the speed-up of production. View our factsheet here.

TAKE ACTION: The Biden administration has all the authority it needs to implement the “End the Pandemic Now” plan immediately. Sign our petition here.
