Thanks to the advocacy of Honduran civil society organizations, the pace of vaccinations in Honduras has increased in the past few months. ASJ organized a group of 200 Honduran groups—churches, schools, businesses, and nonprofits—to write a letter to the Biden administration expressing the need for global solidarity to save lives.
In a global context where a few wealthy countries had first access to life-saving vaccines and treatment, it is just for them to share vaccine recipes and donations with countries like Honduras. After this campaign, Honduras received 3 million vaccines through the U.S. & COVAX, helping the partial vaccination rate grow from 6.5% to 30% and protecting many lives. There is more work to be done for vaccine equity so that COVID-19 vaccines and treatments are affordable and accessible in Honduras and across the world. We continue to track and share information on Honduras' recovery with the public.
