Covid-19: Ethiopian Airlines partners with UNICEF for global vaccine distribution!

Ethiopia's flag carrier, Ethiopian Airlines, has announced that it has partnered with UNICEF (United Nations International Children's Emergency Fund) to help secure the transport of vaccines and other life-saving supplies worldwide. Africa's fastest growing airline has committed to prioritizing the transport of the life-saving supplies, ensuring measures such as temperature control and security and adding freight capacity to routes where needed.
The UNICEF Humanitarian Airfreight Initiative has been formed with leading airlines to secure the transport of vaccines, and other life-saving supplies worldwide. These airlines have signed agreements with UNICEF to support the prioritization of delivery of Covid-19 vaccines, essential medicines, medical devices and other critical supplies to respond to the pandemic.
The initiative supports the COVAX Facility, a global solution to the Covid-19 pandemic that ensures participating countries have fair access to vaccines, regardless of their income level. Under COVAX, UNICEF is leading the procurement and delivery of quality-assured Covid-19 vaccines for low-income and lower-middle-income countries.
