September 21, 2021 – The Henry Schein Cares Foundation announced it has partnered with the WHO Foundation to amplify and contribute to the Go Give One Initiative, a COVID-19 vaccine campaign with no borders. The money raised by the campaign goes to an international financial mechanism called GAVI COVAX Advanced Market Commitment (AMC), which buys COVID-19 vaccines for the world, prioritizing those who need them the most in countries that cannot afford them.
COVAX is the vaccines’ pillar of a global collaboration to accelerate the development, production, and equitable global access to COVID-19 tests, treatments, and vaccines. It is co-led by GAVI, the vaccine alliance, the WHO and the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), alongside key delivery partner UNICEF.
The Go Give One Initiative calls on everyone, everywhere to play their part in helping to vaccinate the world against COVID-19.
