As the specialized health agency for the Americas and the Regional Office of the World Health Organization, PAHO is providing essential leadership, coordination and assistance to fight the spread of COVID-19, save lives, and protect the most vulnerable population groups—including health workers—in all 51 countries and territories of the Americas.
Latin America and the Caribbean need more vaccines now to save lives and prevent future waves. PAHO is working to make sure access to COVID-19 vaccines is guaranteed for every eligible person — regardless of their ethnicity, economic condition, gender, migratory status or whether they reside in a city or rural area — starting with the most vulnerable.
