UK Ambassador to Lima Kate Harrisson on Wednesday said that both the United Kingdom and Peru have expressed interest in joining the Gavi/Covax multilateral efforts so that there is an equitable distribution of the COVID-19 vaccine.
The diplomatic representative said it is essential that the vaccine is made available to the most vulnerable citizens.
Covax is a multilateral initiative that seeks to ensure access to the vaccine for a group of countries as soon as it becomes available.
