What is it about?
During the first year of COVID-19 vaccination, less than 10% of the population in low-income countries had received at least one vaccine dose, while most people in wealthier nations were fully vaccinated. Here, we investigated the potential vaccination strategies to mitigate the disparities in early vaccine accessibility.

Why is it important?
This study found potential vaccination strategies to mitigate the disparities in early vaccine accessibility.
Perspectives
These findings suggested that in low- and middle-income countries where early access to high-efficacy vaccines might be limited, obtaining any accessible vaccines as early as possible and using them in parallel with other higher-efficacy vaccines might be a better strategy than waiting for and relying solely on higher-efficacy vaccines.
