OMC y FMI transparentan flujo de vacuna COVID19
Se trata de una nueva base de datos concebida para lograr mayor transparencia respecto al flujo transfronterizo de vacunas contra la COVID-19
El 22 de noviembre, la Organización Mundial del Comercio (OMC) y el Fondo Monetario Internacional (FMI) presentaron el Sistema OMC-FMI de Seguimiento del Comercio de Vacunas contra la COVID-19, una nueva base de datos concebida para lograr una mayor transparencia respecto del flujo transfronterizo de vacunas contra la COVID-19. En el portal se proporcionan datos sobre el comercio y el suministro de vacunas desglosados por productos, países y tipos de mecanismos.
(de momento sólo en inglés)
The new platform builds on the work of the WTO Secretariat information notes on COVID-19 and world trade and the IMF Staff Discussion Note – A Proposal to End the COVID-19 Pandemic.
The portal provides an array of data on total vaccine supply to date, exports by producing economy and by supply arrangement type, imports by income group and by continent, supply by manufacturing economy and vaccine type, supply to continents and vaccination status.
The vaccine tracker draws information from the public domain, the COVAX Global Vaccine Market Assessment, the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Duke Global Health Innovation Center, Airfinity, Our World in Data, the World Bank Group, the Asian Development Bank and the African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team (AVATT).
The data contained in the tracker is preliminary and will be subject to revisions in collaboration with countries and areas, suppliers, and immunization, health and financing partners. Updates will be provided every month to reflect latest developments.
The tracker is available here.
