防止懈怠并优先做好防范
今天，美国、伯利兹、德国、印度尼西亚和塞内加尔召集其他政府首脑以及国际组织、私营部门、慈善机构、非政府组织和其他合作方的世界领导人参加第二次全球新冠疫情峰会。
美国发出了加倍进行全球性努力以控制新冠疫情并为今后的卫生紧急状况做好准备的呼吁。美国敦促全世界防止懈怠并保持强有力的政治意愿。我们还呼吁各位领导人加速金融和政策承诺——一个国家一个国家地、一个社区一个社区地——为民众接种疫苗；扩大获得检测和治疗的渠道；保护那些风险最高的人；并通过建设及资助国家能力、医卫工作者、疾病监控和医疗对策措施来防止今后发生灾难性事件，其中包括通过世界银行的新的卫生安全基金。
副总统哈里斯强调了美国的领导作用，并敦促国会继续增进美国人民及全世界的安全，立即提供本届政府于2022年3月2日要求获得的225亿美元应对新冠疫情的增补资金，其中包括支持全球性努力的50亿美元，用于制止可能出现的新变异病毒的传播、为民众接种疫苗、扩大获得检测和治疗的渠道，并在国内外拯救生命。
美国为全世界接种疫苗、拯救生命并建设更完善的卫生安全所发挥的领导作用
本次峰会继续彰显美国在全球应对新冠疫情中的领导作用。作为全世界最大的捐助方，美国迄今为止已提供了超过190亿卫生、人道主义和经济援助，并已承诺向全世界免费提供12亿剂疫苗，而且我们已经提供了超过5.35亿剂疫苗。
美国在峰会上同共同主办国伯利兹、德国、印度尼西亚和塞内加尔一道呼吁全世界采取行动。世界各地的领导人都做出了有魄力的新承诺，以控制新冠疫情并防止今后发生卫生危机。美国在迄今为止做出的以及在上一次全球新冠疫情峰会期间做出的各项实质性承诺的基础之上，宣布了对于全球新冠疫情应对及大流行病防备的新承诺：
虽然对抗击新冠病毒和加强防范未来健康威胁作出这些承诺，但是，为确保美国能够继续发挥带头作用，使美国人民和世界更安全，仍有更多工作要做。拜登总统继续敦促国会为提供增补资源及时采取行动。没有更多的紧急资金，美国将无法为美国人民采购进一步的救生治疗方法。美国将没有充分能力阻止可能出现的新变异毒株在全球传播。美国将无法继续进行在国内外保护生命的全球抗新冠病毒疫苗接种努力和让人们真正打上疫苗。

MAY 12, 2022•STATEMENTS AND RELEASES
Preventing Complacency and Prioritizing Preparedness
Today, the United States, Belize, Germany, Indonesia, and Senegal convened other heads of state and world leaders from international organizations, the private sector, philanthropies, non-government organizations, and other partners for the 2nd Global COVID-19 Summit.
The United States issued a call to redouble global efforts to control the COVID-19 pandemic and prepare for future health emergencies.  The U.S.  urged the world to prevent complacency and to keep political will strong. We also called on leaders to accelerate financial and policy commitments – country by country, community by community – to get shots into arms; expand access to tests and treatments; protect those at highest risk; and prevent future catastrophes by building and financing country capacity, health workers, disease surveillance, and medical countermeasures, including through the new health security fund at the World Bank.
Vice President Harris highlighted U.S. leadership and called on Congress to continue to make Americans and the world safer by promptly providing the $22.5 billion in supplemental funding for responding to COVID-19 that the Administration requested on March 2, 2022, including $5 billion to support the global effort to stop the spread of potential new variants, get shots into arms, expand access to tests and treatments, and save lives here at home and abroad.
U.S. leadership in vaccinating the world, saving lives, and building better health security
This Summit continues to highlight American leadership in the global COVID-19 response.  As the world’s largest donor, the United States has to date provided more than $19 billion in health, humanitarian, and economic assistance and has committed to provide 1.2 billon vaccine doses to the world for free, of which we have already provided more than 535 million doses.
At the Summit, the United States called the world to action alongside co-hosts Belize, Germany, Indonesia, and Senegal.  Leaders from around the world made bold new commitments to control COVID-19 and prevent future health crises.  The U.S. announced new commitments to the global COVID-19 response and pandemic preparedness, building on substantial U.S. commitments made to date and during the last global COVID-19 Summit:
Despite these commitments to combat COVID-19 and enhance future preparedness against health threats, there is more work to be done to ensure the United States can continue to lead, to make Americans and the world safer.  President Biden continues to urge Congress to act promptly to provide supplemental resources. Without additional emergency funding, the United States will be unable to purchase additional life-saving treatments for the American people.  The United States will be less able to stop the spread of possible new variants from around the world.  The United States will be unable to keep vaccinating the world against COVID-19 and getting shots into arms, to save lives here at home and abroad.
