US Officials deliver COVID-19 vaccines to Ghana as part of the<unk>  program in 2021. Ghana was the first recipient of vaccines through<unk> . COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access, abbreviated as<unk> , is a worldwide initiative aimed at equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines directed by the GAVI vaccine alliance, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI), and the World Health Organization (WHO), alongside key delivery partner UNICEF. It is one of the three pillars of the Access to COVID-19 Tools Accelerator, an initiative begun in April 2020 by the WHO, the European Commission, and the government of France as a response to the COVID-19 pandemic.<unk>  coordinates international resources to enable low-to-middle-income countries equitable access to COVID-19 tests, therapies, and vaccines. UNICEF is the key delivery partner, leveraging its experience as the largest single vaccine buyer in the world and working on the procurement of COVID-19 vaccine doses, as well logistics, country readiness and in-country delivery. By 19 October 2020, 184 countries had joined<unk> .<unk>  began distributing vaccines in February 2021. Though<unk>  promised 100 million doses by the end of March, this goal was not reached until 6 July. By mid-August 2021,<unk>  delivered 200 million vaccine doses to nearly 140 countries instead of the 600 million doses initially projected. The continued shortage of COVID-19 vaccines delivered through<unk>  is blamed on "vaccine nationalism" by richer nations, and the diversion of 400 million Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine doses, produced under license by the Serum Institute of India (SII), for domestic use in India.
