Abstract
The authors convey their concerns about the extreme inequity in access to vaccines for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) across countries. Topics mentioned include vaccine allocation to low- and middle-income countries via the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access Initiative, deficiency in local vaccine production in Africa and other low- and middle-income countries, and international treaty on pandemics proposed at the 76th session of the United Nations General Assembly.
