The cost of vaccinating the world — a key measure to ending the pandemic and stabilizing the global economy — would be $50 billion, Bloomberg reported Dec. 1.

Laurence Boone, PhD, the organization's chief economist, pointed out that $50 billion is much less than the $10 trillion G-20 has spent to support the global economy throughout the pandemic.
