The Duke and Duchess of Sussex capped off their trip to New York by sharing an important message about vaccine equity.
"Every single person on this planet has a fundamental right to get this vaccine — that's the point, but that's not happening," Markle said. "And while in this country and many others, you can go almost anywhere and get vaccinated, billions of people around the world cannot."
"This year, the world's expected to produce enough doses to meet the target of vaccinating 70% of people in every single country. But it is wrong that so much of the vaccine supply has only gone to just 10 wealthy nations so far, and not everyone else," she continued. "It's just not okay."
