Corona Vaccine Will Not Reach Poor Countries Until 2022



Washington: Corona vaccination has been launched in a dozen countries, including the United Kingdom, the United States and Saudi Arabia, but a study has revealed that about a quarter of the world's population is not expected to receive the vaccine by 2022.A study by the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, published in the medical journal BMJ, found that corona virus vaccines would first be available in rich countries and then in poorer ones. It is feared that a quarter of the population will not have access to the corona vaccine by 2022.The study analyzed the pre orders, preparation stages, delivery difficulties and medical expertise of COVID 19 vaccines and unfortunately the poorest countries are facing all these difficulties while the prosperous countries in mid-November. 7.48 billion doses of vaccines from 13 different companies were allocated for them. Now, if all these vaccines are successfully used, the next batch will be ready by the end of 2021, for which companies will be able to produce 5.96 billion doses worth between $6 and 96$ per vaccine. Rich countries, representing only 14% of the world's population, have already bought 51% of the vaccine. Thus, the poor, who make up 85% of the population, have no choice but to hope. It seems difficult for them to get the vaccine before 2022. In this regard, the role of the United Nations Corona Vaccine Monitoring Agency, Kovacine, is important, which will in any case face global pressure.
