Will everybody get a Covid 19 vaccine?

World Business Report

Available for over a year

The race to develop a vaccine against the deadly Coronavirus Covid 19 has raised fears that pharmaceutical companies may supply it first to rich countries, which might mean that people in developing nations could miss out. Assuming a successful vaccine is created and there is no guarantee, its production throws up some challenging issues, like who should get it first, or which country will be the first in line? The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½'s Russell Padmore considers how these decisions will be made. (Picture: A nurse prepares a syringe for injection. Credit: Sergei Supinsky/GettyImages.)
