CARPHA UPDATE FOR Incident Manager / SITUATION REPORT

COVID-19 Update Supplement Week of: 21sth June, 2021

I. Overview of Development and Regulatory Approvals:

• 102 candidate vaccines are in clinical development: 18 in Phase 3 trials, and 5 in Phase 4 trials – Table 1; Figure in COVID-19 Vaccines and Therapeutics Regulatory Tracker (Phases tab). • 18 vaccines have received regulatory approvals in various countries, and 18 are at various stages of engagement with WHO for emergency use listing (EUL) including vaccines made in . • 8 vaccines have been approved by WHO for EUL to date: Pfizer-BioNTech’s : COMIRNATY®, AstraZeneca-SK Bio, AstraZeneca-SII (Covishield), Janssen-Cilag, AstraZeneca (Vaxzevria™), Moderna (mRNA-1273), Sinopharm-BIBP and Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine – CoronaVac: Table 4. • COVID-19 vaccine interim recommendations by the WHO’s Strategic Advisory Group of Experts on (SAGE) for reviewed vaccines may be found at: SAGE COVID-19 materials. • CARPHA’s COVID-19 vaccine regulatory tracker provides an overview of profiles and regulatory approvals for various candidate vaccines and therapeutics. This sheet includes information on the efficacy of the vaccines in light of current variants of concern, as per WHO updates. • CARPHA-CRS has recommended 7 COVID-19 vaccines to Member States to date – Table 4. The CRS has started its review of Sinovac COVID-19 vaccine (Vero Cell [Inactivated]) – CoronaVac.

II. Vaccine Deployment in the Caribbean

Several Caribbean countries have approved / received COVID-19 vaccines purchases and/or donations.

▪ 14 Caribbean countries have received vaccine deliveries from COVAX as of 21st June, 2021. ▪ Based on data collected by the Global Change Data Lab’s Our World in Data site, between 1.05% and 62% of populations in CARPHA Member States (where available) have been fully vaccinated against COVID-19 – both doses (Figure 1). Completed schedules per 100 persons, based on data from PAHO are shown in Figure 2. ▪ Based on the PAHO Dashboard of COVID-19 in the Americas as of 18th June, 2021, among CARPHA Member States, vaccine administration (at least 1 dose) ranges from 6.5 to 137.4 doses per capita (Figure 3). Approximately 2,013,813 doses have been administered, with an average of 59.6 doses per capita among CMS – Table 3.
