Can everyone in wealthy countries who receives vaccination donate a small amount?

It occurred to me - as I’m sure it will to others - that if each person worldwide who receives a Covid vaccination and is able to do so donates a small sum - even a pound or two- that money could be added to the international fund to provide vaccines to poorer countries. I think that individuals can donate and found this link via WHO
covid19responsefund.org/en/
but please check carefully before donating.
It would be great if donation slips with relevant information could be handed out at vaccination stations. Has anyone heard anything about this? I can’t believe that no one has suggested it already.

Our government is doing this. Unfortunately not matched by most other developed countries.

I agree that publicising this at vaccination centres probably isn't a great idea, but I'm happy to donate and really glad I saw this thread. I didn't know about the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine fund until it was mentioned above.
