Researchers at Duke University said in April that despite the ‘Covax’ initiative, many countries would not be able to vaccinate 60 percent of the population in 2023 or beyond.

When will the COVID-19 anti-vaccine (Corona Vaccine) be readily available in the world? Experts say that vaccines will be readily available in some countries in 2023 or later. The United States, Israel and Britain are among those countries that have provided at least one dose to half or more of its population. In some countries such as South Africa, Pakistan and Venezuela, less than one percent of the population has been vaccinated.
At the same time, 12 countries have not received vaccine supplements in Africa. Vaccine availability depends on many aspects. This includes purchasing capacity, vaccine manufacturing capacity in the country, access to raw materials and global intellectual property law. The US has supported dropping the patent on the vaccine. But, it is not clear that when will there be agreement on this issue in the countries of the world and when this happens, then when will vaccine manufacture gain momentum.
‘Kovacs’ shocked due to export shutdown
The UN’s ‘Kovacs’ initiative to provide vaccines on a global scale has also had a profound impact on the ban on exports in some countries. Researchers at Duke University said in April that despite the ‘Kovacs’ initiative, many countries would not be able to vaccinate 60 percent of the population in 2023 or beyond.
Matthew Kavanagh, a global health policy expert at Georgetown University, said that the rich countries of the US, Europe and the world had already ordered all available doses and now many countries with funds are also waiting to buy vaccines. .
Vaccine shortage in Bangladesh
Meanwhile, many countries of the world are struggling with the shortage of vaccine. Bangladesh’s name is also included in this. Bangladesh is facing a new wave of Corona these days. In such a situation, the shortage of vaccine has increased the country’s problem further. The lack of vaccine in Bangladesh can be gauged from the fact that the first dose of the vaccine has been temporarily banned.
If the consignment of the vaccine did not reach Bangladesh in time, the citizens who had the first dose would miss their second dose. Meanwhile, China has given him 500,000 doses of ‘Sinopharm’ on Wednesday to help Bangladesh.
