Story
I’m one of the lucky ones - I’ve already received my first dose of the coronavirus vaccine. Other people, especially in the developing world, will have to wait much longer. And nobody is completely safe until everyone is safe.
My jab was free for me, and so I’ve decided to donate the cost of my jab so that others can get protected sooner. I would love it if you would join me and donate whatever you can too.
All the money raised will go to the COVAX Advance Market Commitment (AMC), overseen by the World Health Organisation. This program ensures the world’s poorest countries will get access to COVID-19 vaccines, regardless of their ability to pay. COVAX is supported by governments and charities too.
Please donate what you can. Here’s the approximate price per jab (remember, you will get two jabs so please donate double if you can):
Oxford-AstraZeneca: £3
Pfizer-BioNTech: £15
Moderna: £24

Thank you!
Love Ruth (and Euan, who is helping with the admin).

3 years agoA huge thank you to all of you who have supported us by making donations or sharing our JustGiving page. We have now raised over £5000 and are heading towards our new £7000 target. Thanks to The Hawick Paper, Border TV and Borders Radio for the publicity and to T N Crosby for collecting donations for us. Your generosity has been amazing! We ask anyone who can afford the cost of their vaccine to consider donating. We know we will all get our vaccines. We would love to be able to give that hope to as many people as possible in poorer countries.

So grateful to have had the vaccine, both doses and not have to worry about finding money to pay for it. So need and must pass on for others not as fortunate. Well done Ruth for taking this up.
