Abstract

Despite the rapid development of safe and effective COVID-19 vaccines and the widely recognized health and economic benefits of vaccination, there exist stark differences in vaccination rates across country income groups. While more than 70% of the population is fully vaccinated in high-income countries, vaccination rates in low-income countries are only around 30%. The paper reviews the factors behind global COVID-19 vaccine inequity and the health, social, and economic costs triggered by this inequity. The main contributors to vaccine inequity include vaccine nationalism, intellectual property rights, constraints in manufacturing capacity, poor resilience of healthcare systems, and vaccine hesitancy. Vaccine inequity has high costs, including preventable deaths and cases of illnesses in low-income countries, slow economic recovery, and large learning losses among children. Increasing vaccination rates in low-income countries is in the self-interest of higher-income countries as it may prevent the emergence of new variants and continuous disruptions to global supply chains.

全球新冠肺炎疫苗不公平的原因和代价。
尽管安全有效的新冠肺炎疫苗迅速发展,疫苗接种的健康和经济效益也得到广泛认可,但各国收入群体的疫苗接种率存在明显差异。虽然高收入国家70%以上的人口完全接种了疫苗,但低收入国家的疫苗接种率仅为30%左右。本文回顾了全球新冠肺炎疫苗不公平背后的因素,以及这种不公平引发的健康、社会和经济成本。疫苗不平等的主要原因包括疫苗民族主义、知识产权、制造能力限制、医疗系统的应变能力差以及疫苗犹豫。疫苗不公平的代价很高,包括低收入国家可预防的死亡和疾病、缓慢的经济复苏以及儿童的大量学习损失。提高低收入国家的疫苗接种率符合高收入国家的自身利益,因为这可能会防止新变种的出现和全球供应链的持续中断。
