Global Citizen’s Message For “VAX LIVE”
The nonprofit organization understands that music was a uniting force over the past year. They want to celebrate that, while also imparting wisdom, hope, and knowledge about where the world stands.
Global Citizen’s “VAX LIVE: The Concert To Reunite The World” will be broadcast around the globe. The artists and change makers present will educate the audience on the latest public health messages.
In their own words, Global Citizen explains that, “A global recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic depends on global herd immunity, which means everyone must have equal access to vaccines, tests, and treatments around the world.
“If wealthy countries continue to hoard vaccines, the pandemic will evolve for years to come as new COVID-19 strains emerge,” rounded out in an announcement.
“VAX LIVE” will air at 8:00p.m. EST on May 8. Fans around the globe can catch the event hosted by Selena Gomez on ABC, CBS, YouTube, and iHeartRadio’s app.
