The Equity in Access to Coronavirus Vaccination; An Ethical, Scientific and Economic Rationale

More than a year after the onset of the coronavirus outbreak, the number of worldwide daily deaths reported from coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has remained significant (1). From the outset, efforts have been made to find effective preventive measures, legislation, appropriate treatments, and vaccines. These days, despite improving discipline and protocols, the effectiveness of some treatments, and preventive measures, the number of reported confirmed deaths per day has reached about 15,000 (1). While the virus has so far infected all countries and caused great harms to all societies, sparks of hope have emerged with the limited start of vaccination (2).
