The Sussexes are back! They're scheduled to deliver an important message at Global Citizen’s star-studded VAX LIVE event...
On May 8, some of the world’s biggest names are coming together for Global Citizen’s VAX Live: The Concert to Reunite the World, which will be a globally televised concert to promote COVID-19 vaccines, as well as increase public confidence in the shots.
The roster includes a plethora of A-listers including Prince Harry and Meghan Markle – who are the event’s campaign chairs – and will deliver an important message about vaccine equity.
“Over the past year, our world has experienced pain, loss, and struggle—together. Now we need to recover and heal—together,” Harry and Meghan said in a statement. “We can’t leave anybody behind. We will all benefit, we will all be safer when everyone everywhere has equal access to the vaccine. We must pursue equitable vaccine distribution, and in that, restore faith in our common humanity. This mission couldn’t be more critical or important.”
