Now we need to recover and heal\u2014together. We can\u2019t leave anybody behind,\u201d The Duke and Duchess said in the announcement. \u201cWe will all benefit, we will all be safer, when everyone, everywhere has equal access to the vaccine. We must pursue equitable vaccine distribution, and in that, restore faith in our common humanity. This mission couldn\u2019t be more critical or important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During the program, VAX LIVE will call on philanthropists and corporations to donate enough \u201cdollars for doses\u201d to help vaccinate more than 27 million frontline health workers. Global Citizen will also implore governments to pledge a total of $19 billion to get 1.8 billion COVID-19 vaccine doses plus tests and treatments to the world\u2019s poorest countries by the end of 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In response to VAX LIVE\u2019s efforts thus far, Cisco, Analog Devices Foundation, The Coca-Cola Foundation, and a Swiss foundation that prefers to remain anonymous have announced commitments totaling $11.5 million to fund the purchase of an estimated 2.3 million vaccine doses for health workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As part of the campaign, Spain announced the donation of an estimated 7.5 million vaccine doses as soon as 50% of the Spanish population is vaccinated. France announced starting the sharing of doses for health workers across Africa, with an initial donation of 100,000 this month and at least 500,000 by June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hosted by Selena Gomez, VAX LIVE will feature appearances by President Joe Biden, First Lady Jill Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, President Emmanuel Macron of France, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada, and Prime Minister Andrej Plenkovi\u0107 of Croatia, as well as performances by Jennifer Lopez, Eddie Vedder, Foo Fighters, J Balvin, and H.E.R.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The special airs on <em>ABC<\/em>, <em>ABC News Live<\/em>, <em>CBS<\/em>, <em>iHeartMedia<\/em>, and on the Global Citizen channel on <em>YouTube<\/em>, at 8 p.m. ET\/7 p.m. CT, and on <em>FOX <\/em>at 11 p.m. ET.
