Report spotlights inequalities in COVID vaccine access in poorer nations
Published on December 7, 2023
New global survey data published in Health Affairs shows that half of unvaccinated respondents said they wanted a COVID-19 vaccine but were not able to obtain the shots, suggesting that unmet supply needs still drives low vaccine uptake in many low- and middle-income countries.
The survey came from 15,696 respondents in 17 countries in Africa and the Western Pacific. Surveys were conducted from May 2022 to January 2023.
