What should be done?
It is now necessary for all countries around the world to procure an abundance of vaccines to attain herd immunity. Antigua and Barbuda have been living on donations from India and COVAX to fulfil their vaccine requirements; however, the initial arrivals have not been sufficient enough to vaccinate 70% of the adult populations. The government needs to take more straightforward steps so that Antigua and Barbuda get sufficient supplies of vaccines. While countries like Argentina and Nigeria are striving to get vaccines and are ready to pay as much as $20 for a single dose, they can still not procure the vaccines for their broader populations.Monika Walker is an experienced journalist specializing in global political developments and international relations.
