Short-sightednessAs the pandemic persists, the epidemiological short-sightedness of vaccine inequity is becoming increasingly obvious. In short, vaccine inequity will prolong the pandemic, even in rich countries. What is certain, though, is that booster doses in rich countries will exacerbate vaccine inequity by further reducing the supply to the developing world. There is a developing countries vaccine manufacturing network that has been around for more than 20 years. Vaccine inequity, which is at the core of the problem, is more than just a folly.
