## Evidence

-   More boosters have been delivered in the developed world than first and second doses in low-income countries
-   In high-income countries more than two in three people have received at least one dose, but in low-income countries only one in nine
-   Richer nations have engaged in [[vaccine nationalism]] – hoarding doses (in some cases, later thrown away unused)
