We said it’s available today, but probably you have noticed that it’s not visible in the WhatsApp Sticker Store right now. It seems that this is an exclusive sticker pack that you can view and import into WhatsApp visiting a special URL (EDIT: WhatsApp has released it in the Sticker Store after 1 hour).
This special URL is called deep link a fast shortcut to open WhatsApp in a specific situation, in this case to view and import this sticker pack.
In order to test, you can visit wa.me/stickerpack/VaccinesForAll from your Android or iOS device and you will see that the browser will open WhatsApp, viewing this sticker pack.
