Promises, promisesWith huge inequalities in vaccinations — especially between high-income countries (HICs) and low-income countries (LICs) — the virus has been enabled to continue replicating, mutating, infecting and killing, especially those who are least protected. Richer countries have taken more than half the first 7.5 billion vaccine doses. By late October, only about a tenth of the over 1.3 billion vaccine doses pledged had been delivered. COVAX was supposed to provide two billion doses by end-2021, but under 576 million were actually delivered by November. Pfizer expects to sell three billion doses by year end, and four billion more in 2022.
