In response to the Covid-19 pandemic, WHO ordered globally to increase the production of vaccines and roll-out worldwide. As we all know, most countries are working to get a cure for the virus. However, there is a broader Covid vaccination gap between developed and developing countries.

In fact, WHO says that the gap may increase the discovery and spread of new variants. In addition, most people think about the disparities in global Covid-19 vaccination rates between developed and developing countries. Meanwhile, developing countries are now ongoing booster shots. But, only 1% of the people living in developing countries are fully vaccinated.

Real Research published a survey regarding the Covid-19 vaccination gap between developed and developing countries. Therefore, this insight shows the results received from the survey. Read on to find out people’s opinions regarding the Covid-19 vaccination gap.
