Part of the world's countries are making good progress vaccinating their
citizens against COVID-19, which will save lives and get their economies
back on track. But most low- and middle-income countries are still
struggling to get enough doses just to protect their health and frontline
workers, as well as their most vulnerable. Indeed, 66% of people in high-
income countries have so far received at least one shot of a COVID-19
vaccine, compared to 2% of people in low-income countries
To save lives around the world, COVID-19 vaccines must be shared more
equitably and become widely available in low- and middle-income
countries. However, obtaining enough vaccines is only the first hurdle. To
get shots into arms rapidly, developing countries have to be prepared and
equipped for mass vaccination.
