Vaccine diplomacy has become a significant consideration in the global effort to distribute Covid-19 vaccines from wealthier developed nations to poorer developing countries. Based upon a review of the secondary source literature, it appears that while vaccine diplomacy is expected to result in an increase in the quantities available for export, some pragmatic considerations may impede the effort to transport and administer the vaccine in less developed countries.
