A People's Vaccine

A People's Vaccine

Sign

This pandemic has taught us that our wellbeing is tied to everyone else and that strong communities are built on people getting the care they need.

But monopolies held by pharmaceutical corporations are preventing people receiving the safe and effective vaccines they so desperately need.  

Ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to lifesaving treatments and vaccines is the only way to beat the pandemic. That's why a motion put to the World Trade Organisation proposes to temporarily override patents on COVID-19 medicines. 

Will you call on the Australian Government to back this proposal to get more people the vaccines they need?

Suspend patents on COVID-19 medicine

There is only one way to beat this pandemic.

By ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to lifesaving treatments and vaccines. 

Join us in calling on the Minister for Trade, Dan Tehan, to support the suspension of patents on all COVID-19 medicines until the end of the pandemic.   

 

Dear Hon Dan Tehan - Minister for Trade, Tourism and Investment,

Ensuring everyone, everywhere has access to lifesaving vaccines is our only chance to beat the COVID-19 pandemic.

Supporting the proposal currently before the TRIPS Council of the WTO would help to do this, by giving developing countries the ability to rapidly scale-up production of safe and effective vaccines.

I am calling on you, as Australia's Trade Minister, to put people's health first. Support the waiver before TRIPS - Stop monopolies on COVID-19 medicines and suspend patents until the pandemic over.
