Vaccinating the world would cost $50B, analysis says

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.

The figure comes from an analysis conducted by the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development. 

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.
