Haiti has not received a single dose of COVID-19 vaccine to date despite being one of 10 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean that will receive the COVAX vaccines free of charge.

The COVAX initiative, a program backed by the World Health Organization, was to supply vaccines for middle and low-income countries.

Countries must submit detailed readiness and delivery plans to show that they are able to begin rolling out vaccines effectively, which the government has failed to do as a result of the current political chaos situation in Haiti.
