Global Covid-19 Vaccine Apartheid Storymap
This map depicts unequal access to Covid-19 vaccines around the world, highlights whether governments supported or opposed an initiative to temporarily suspend intellectual property restrictions to boost the supply of lifesaving doses, shows where untapped vaccine production potential exists, and explores efforts to expand generic manufacturing.
It was generated using the Mapbox Storytelling template, with GeoJSON files containing information about national vaccination rates (Our World in Data), governments' positions on the TRIPS waiver proposal at the WTO (Doctors Without Borders), the locations of idle mRNA manufacturing capacity (Doctors Without Borders and the Access IBSA project), and participants in the WHO-led mRNA vaccine technology transfer hub (Medicines Patent Pool).
