Annex for Phase 2 of COVAX Allocation Framework

Overview

This is an Annex to the 'Fair allocation mechanism for COVID-19 vaccines through the COVAX Facility' document.

This Annex outlines the rationale, allocation design and governance considerations for Phase 2 of COVAX allocation. It also includes details on Urgent Allocations (for Quarter 2 2022 only). 

Phase 2 incorporates four main shifts in approach from Phase 1: 

• Allocation to be mainly driven by participant demand as supply constraints ease, with countries able to submit demand with supply allocated in response; 
• Account for all sources of supply to establish country population coverage and enhance equity; 
• Long-term rolling allocations and ranges to reflect uncertainty on the demand and supply side;  
• A more predictable and regular process for collection of demand information from participants
