Abstract

The term “vaccine equity” primarily points to the enormous imbalance in global COVID-19 vaccine distribution. Vaccine equity should adopt a normative approach toward “health equity,” and various stakeholders across the vaccine life cycle must practice it. The momentum gathered during this pandemic must be used to correct these structural imbalances.
