Submitted by Canada
Issue: Vaccine transportation & accessibility for LIC’s
Signatories:

Noting, the need for the transport of vaccines to reach LIC’s.

Emphasizing, the collaborative efforts that led to the control and near-elimination of measles
in many regions.
Concerned, that the death rate for LIC’s will continue to increase without immediate
transportation of vaccines to the countries in order to prevent illnesses.
Recognizing, the importance of global health equity.
Highlighting, the successful global campaign to eliminate polio through vaccination efforts.

1. Calls for, a new UN body called VAT (Vaccine Accessibility &

Transportation) to make vaccines more accessible to people and
improve transportation routes especially for LIC’s.

2. Calls for, the establishment of vaccination programs in

underserved communities.
a) This would be possible by identifying areas with low
vaccination rates, using public health data, and then set
up the vaccination centres and programs that are easily
accessible.

3. Recommends, a global fund to improve transportation

networks and be able to use more refrigerated trucks and
storage facilities to maintain the vaccines proper temperature
during the transportation to low-income countries.
4. Further recommends, to analyse census data and population
estimates to see how many citizens there are that are in need
of the vaccines.

a) Factors like ages, occupations and health conditions, etc…

will be looked at in order to know who fits the
requirements needed to take the vaccine.

b) Requests implementing a system that takes into account

the population density of different regions when
allocating vaccines to ensure fair vaccine distribution
based on population density for equal access.
