WHO: Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 vaccine deployment update – 31 May 2010.

WHO released its Pandemic (H1N1) 2009 vaccine deployment update – 31 May 2010. The update, reflecting activity in the WHO “stockpile”, notes that:

– 99 countries have requested vaccine donations

– 86 countries have signed agreements with WHO

– National Deployment Plans: 67 are complete and final; 7 plans are being refined

– Through 31 May 2010, 49 countries have received 32,393, 600 doses of pandemic (H1N1) vaccine. The overall stockpile has received pledges of some 200 million doses, and commitments of 118 million doses. The report notes that the apparent gap is “not applicable since sufficient vaccines have been pledged to meet at least 10% population coverage of all countries that have requested vaccine.”
