UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced that a virtual global summit had raised $8.8 (€7.77) billion for Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance (GAVI), in London on Thursday.
GAVI, which was established two decades ago with the help of the Microsoft founder's Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is an international organisation that supports vaccine access in the world's poorest countries.
Johnson also called for a "spirit of collaboration and collective defence" to fight disease around the world.
The prime minister also spoke of the ongoing efforts to create a vaccine for the coronavirus, saying that "some of the most promising research into vaccines is happening right here in the UK."
The Gates Foundation pledged $1.6 billion (€1.41) of the total sum raised.
