The International Monetary Fund has indicated that the current pace of vaccination around the world will not help end Corona by 2022.
According to Arab Net, of the estimated 3.3 billion doses of COVID-19 vaccine that have been administered globally, most have been made available in only a small number of countries. For most parts of the world, especially those in low- and middle-income countries, coronavirus vaccines remain elusive.
While international efforts, such as the COVAX facility and additional donations, seek to support global access to the vaccine, many estimates suggest that many countries may not achieve significant levels of vaccination until at least 2023.
Drawing on current efforts that track global access to a vaccine, such as Our World in Data, Launch and Scale Speedometer, and Bloomberg's Vaccine Tracker, several measures of global vaccine inequality are being examined in an effort to assess where the largest gaps are.
Based on the current rate of vaccine doses administered, it is also estimated how quickly it must be raised to reach global vaccine coverage targets set by the World Health Organization, World Trade Organization, IMF and World Bank at 40% by the end of 2021 and 60% by mid-2022. .
There are large differences in the proportion of the population who have received at least one dose of vaccine by country income, with low- and middle-income countries lagging far behind. As of July 7, while more than half of individuals (51%) had received at least one dose in high-income countries (HICs), only 1% of the population in low-income countries, 14% in low- and middle-income countries, and 31% In upper middle income countries (UMICs), they similarly received a single dose, according to data seen by Al Arabiya.net from KFF, a specialist research firm.
