Covid-19: what will it take to vaccinate the world?

Edward Carr

The global vaccination effort faces severe logistical hurdles and a sharp disparity where wealthy nations have hoarded doses while developing countries rely on candidates like AstraZeneca or the transparency-questioned Chinese and Russian alternatives. To counter this inequity, the COVAX facility aims to secure access for lower-income regions, drawing immediate support from the US after President Biden's inauguration to join 190 participating economies. Experts warn that shifting distribution models to prioritize global need over national self-interest is essential to saving millions of lives and preserving future international cooperation on systemic crises.
