A group of campaigning organisations under the aegis of People’s Vaccine Alliance, have warned that nearly 70 countries may be able to vaccinate only one in 10 people against the COVID-19 pandemic as wealthier nations have bought up most of the stock.
Their warning is predicated on data indicating the deals already done on the procurement of the vaccines by rich nations.
According to the People’s Vaccine Alliance, rich countries with 14 per cent of the world’s population have bought 53 per cent of the most promising vaccines as the pandemic exposes vast inequities both within and between countries.
