As the G20 summit kicks off in Rome, leaders of the world's richest nations are facing calls to spread the wealth when it comes to COVID-19 vaccines.
Italy’s prime minister and G20 chair, Mario Draghi, says more than 70 per cent of the population in high income countries have at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, but in the poorest nations that rate drops to just three per cent.
In hopes of correcting that imbalance, Canada has announced plans to donate more doses, as well as $15 million to help South Africa make vaccines domestically. Mike Le Couteur reports.
