The "Hiroshima Vision", unveiled at the G7 Hiroshima Summit in 2023, leaves room for enhancement in the specific content of equitable global vaccine distribution plans. Despite the efforts of COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX), vaccine supply faces severe disparities, with high-income countries receiving a disproportionately larger share. To mitigate future public health crises, mechanisms proven by past instances, such as establishing regional vaccine hubs, promoting technology transfers, and considering early patent rights relinquishment, need to be implemented. Correcting vaccine inequity necessitates learning from the COVID-19 pandemic and demands global cooperation and consensus from the G7.
2023年七国集团广岛峰会公布的“广岛愿景”,在全球疫苗公平分配计划的具体内容方面仍有改进空间。尽管有新冠疫苗全球获取机制(COVAX)的努力,但疫苗供应仍存在严重差距,高收入国家获得的份额 disproportionately 更大。为缓解未来的公共卫生危机,需要实施过去实例证明有效的机制,如建立区域疫苗中心、促进技术转让以及考虑尽早放弃专利权。纠正疫苗不公平现象需要从新冠疫情中吸取教训,需要七国集团进行全球合作并达成共识。 (注:原文中disproportionately拼写有误,正确拼写为disproportionately ,意为“不成比例地”)
