01:10UN: Macron proposes 'donation mechanism' for COVID vaccines' distribution
French President Emmanuel Macron proposed a 'donation mechanism' for COVID-19 vaccines distribution, in his pre-recorded address to the UN General Assembly, New York City, Thursday.
"France proposes a donation mechanism so that a portion of the first doses of vaccines available are used to vaccinate priority groups in developing countries," stressed Macron.
"These doses, whether they come from Europe, China, Russia or the United States, whether they are the fruit of donations from states or pharmaceutical companies, would thus be allocated effectively and fairly, on the basis of WHO recommendations," added the French president.
