The company behind a COVID-19 vaccine touted as a key tool for the developing world has sent tens of millions of doses to wealthy nations but provided none yet to the U.N.-backed effort to supply poorer countries.

Vaccine availability has been improving in poorer regions recently, but logistical problems persist.

The company, struggling to scale up production, also has delayed delivery to other countries, including some in the European Union. COVAX is supposed to receive more than 1 billion Novavax doses. Gavi suggested part of the delay is that the Novavax vaccine wasn’t authorized by WHO until December. Gavi said it planned to allocate Novavax in the future and was “in close touch with the manufacturer and expects the supply to be available for delivery when countries need it.”

Why Not?

A blessing in disguise. The vaccine has not turned out to be what it was all touted to be. More of a scam than a cure.

Good for them. Natural immunity is better and they probably wouldn't take it anyway. They know better.....
