This policy brief discusses how to ensure that everyone is vaccinated as the distribution of coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccinations gets begun. It accomplishes so by assessing the argument for multilateral access and delivery approaches, highlighting major challenges, and identifying policymakers' top priorities. In contrast, developing countries have major challenges in vaccine procurement, allocation, distribution, and uptake. Vaccine supply inequities are already evident, with resource-rich nations receiving a large percentage of the vaccine doses available for 2021. The lack of a comprehensive policy to ensure that developing countries have access to vaccinations risks prolonging the pandemic, exacerbating inequality, and delaying global recovery. While new collaborative efforts such as the ACT Accelerator and its COVAX programme are helping to close present gaps, they are insufficient in instances where demand much outnumbers supply. If current trends continue, mass immunization efforts in poorer countries may be delayed until 2024 or later, prolonging human and economic suffering in all countries. All policy initiatives that can help developing countries gain equitable vaccination access include I supporting global frameworks for equitable vaccine distribution, crisis response, resilience, and prevention, (ii) emphasizing the role of development finance, and (iii) advocating context-driven solutions.
