Donation of COVID-19 vaccines and procurement of drugs for passive immunisation against COVID-19
Bern, 23.2.2022 - At its meeting on 23 February 2022 the Swiss Federal Council discussed COVID-19 vaccine requirements and use in 2022. The main goal is to supply members of the public under various conceivable pandemic scenarios. Now the Federal Council has decided to pass on a maximum of 15 million vaccine doses to other countries by mid-2022 if these doses cannot be scheduled for vaccination in Switzerland. Switzerland will thus contribute to ensuring that as many people as possible throughout the world are given access to safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines. The Federal Council also decided to procure on a centralised basis drugs for protecting people with immune deficiency from COVID-19.
