| description |
Vaccination rates in developing
countries lag those in developed countries by a huge margin.
This Research & Policy Brief identifies and quantifies
the impact of six policy and regulatory actions that could
increase vaccine supply to developing countries before the
end of 2021. The actions focus on measures to accelerate
regulatory approvals, optimize production capacity across
firms, reconfigure prioritization of low-risk groups, and
adjust generous dosage thresholds. Together these actions
could yield enough supply to reach the interim target to
vaccinate at least 40 percent of the population of every
country by the end of 2021, as a means to vaccinate 60
percent of global population by mid-2022, thereby helping to
end the pandemic earlier, reducing uncertainty and raising growth. |
