French President Emmanuel Macron in a recent video on Twitter confirmed that some doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine will be sent to African countries that are not able to provide enough for their citizens. His move will meet Selena Gomez plea for G7 leaders to support countries with fewer privileges very well.
President Macron had earlier announced that France would release at least 500,000 doses of COVID-19 vaccines by mid-June through the Covax device (WHO, Gavi alliance and Cepi coalition).
Speaking in the video, Mr Macron said, “Our most vulnerable populations are gradually being covered, and we will receive more and more vaccines. We have ample means to accelerate our solidarity which involves the donation of doses.”
Time has come to share!

Meanwhile, American superstar Selena Gomez had invited his community to call on the French leader and the other leaders of the G7 to plead with them to help financially or send doses of vaccine to help everyone fight against the Covid-19 pandemic.
Please join me and send a message to France’s @EmmanuelMacron and other #G7 leaders asking them to pledge dollars or doses to help everyone around the world fight the COVID-19 pandemic. #VaxLive

According to a report by Le Parisien, the singer will host the “Vax Live” show, along with Jennifer Lopez and the Foo Fighters, on May 8 to raise funds that will be used to fund sending the COVID-19 vaccine to nations that are not able to fund theirs.
