Global Disparities in Vaccine Uptake
In the December issue of Health Affairs, Ashley Fox and coauthors examine disparities in COVID-19 vaccine uptake ([link removed] ) in low- and middle-income countries.
The authors examine the extent to which constrained accessibility and vaccine hesitancy contribute to relatively low uptake in low- and middle-income countries.
After examining survey data from ten Western Pacific countries and seven African countries, they found that of the respondents who had not been vaccinated for COVID-19, about half were not willing to get vaccinated, and half were willing, but not able to access vaccinations.
Unmet immunization demand was higher in African countries than in the Western Pacific countries examined.
Fox and coauthors determine that in several countries, unmet demand tended to decrease along with age, and was higher among female respondents.
The authors conclude that targeted efforts to increase vaccination rates are necessary.
