The goal is to \u201chelp bring the pandemic substantially under control everywhere for everyone\u2019s benefit,\u201d Georgieva said.<\/p>\n<p>To get there, the IMF stressed the need for additional subsidies for the international Covax scheme \u2014 which was set up to try to prevent rich countries from hoarding vaccine, but is proving ineffective so far.<\/p>\n<p>Those subsidies would come through donations of surplus doses and ensuring the free cross-border flow of raw materials and vaccine.<\/p>\n<p>The estimate of $50 billion is a combination of at least $35 billion in subsidies,
