April 12, 2021 More than one in five Americans are now fully vaccinated against Covid-19, while in dozens of countries not a single person has received a shot. The early distribution of the vaccine has followed a predictable pattern: 86% of the doses administered to date have been given to people in high- and upper-middle-income countries. This inequity threatens to prolong both the pandemic and the economic recovery. At a Make Business Better event on April 7, Quartz gathered experts in global public health and the pharmaceutical industry to discuss what needs to happen to ensure that vaccines and other critical medications are distributed quickly and fairly, both across borders and within countries.
