<p>DFID is working to maximise the development of and roll out of an effective COVID-19
vaccine that is affordable and accessible to low- and middle- income countries. The
Prime Minister recently announced an additional £210 million of new UK aid funding
to the International Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) to help
develop a vaccine for COVID-19. The UK is now the biggest contributor to CEPI, committing
£250 million this year to support the global effort to fight epidemic diseases, including
coronavirus. DFID is currently exploring with existing partners, including IAVI and
other Product Development Partnerships, on how they too might contribute to our efforts
to combat COVID-19.</p>
