For most developing countries, widespread COVID-19 vaccination coverage will not be achieved until 2030, as most will rely on COVAX — a World Health Organization-led initiative that aims to secure 6 billion vaccine doses for the poorest countries.

And vaccine supplies for COVAX may take a while to arrive, especially if delays in production and delivery to richer countries push delivery dates for poorer countries out by up to two years.
