Over 85% of the world's COVID-19 vaccine supply has been purchased by wealthier countries, even though they account for only 15% of the global population [1]. This has led to a situation where vaccination slots are not available in many less affluent nations.
Country | % of Population Vaccinated |
---|---|
United States | 50% |
China | 40% |
India | 10% |
Africa | 2% |
Region | Tourism Revenue Loss in 2020 |

Asia-Pacific | $245 billion |

Vaccination slots are appointments for receiving a vaccine. They are typically scheduled in advance and may be limited in number. Vaccination slot availability refers to the number of slots that are open for scheduling at a given time.
Vaccination slots not available is a serious problem that is hindering the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By working together, governments, health authorities, and businesses can ensure that everyone has access to vaccines and that the world can move forward from this crisis.
