The global approach to vaccine equity is failing: additional steps that would help

Accusations abound of vaccine nationalism against states that stockpile vaccines and of vaccine apartheid, as COVID-19 vaccines become concentrated in rich countries. Calls for vaccine equity or justice demand vaccine allocation on account of need, based on the idea that no one is safe until everyone is safe. At stake is our ability to ensure an end to the pandemic and restoration of the global economy via an end to border restrictions.
