By the beginning of 2021 the world welcomed encouraging news on several candidate vaccines for COVID-19. Pfizer-BioNTech, Moderna, Oxford/AstraZeneca and the Chinese BBIBP-CorV vaccines are already rolled out in some high-income countries, and other vaccines may follow. While in low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) access is lagging, there are several vaccines with significant potential for fighting the pandemic in those LMICs that need them. For instance, Coronavac, developed by China’s Sinovac Biotech, has been approved in China and is undergoing phase III trials in several LMICs, including Brazil, Indonesia, Bangladesh and the Philippines. By early December, Brazil and Indonesia had received over a million doses of the vaccine. The Sputnik V vaccine has been approved in Russia. The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is being rolled out in India. The advantage of these last three vaccines is that they can be transported, stored and delivered using the standard 2 C–8 C cold chain infrastructure (the Pfizer vaccine needs to be kept at− 70 C and Moderna at− 20 C). Based on currently available information, the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine is also likely to cost less than competitor vaccines, partly because of its different design, but also because Astra-Zeneca has committed to selling it at cost during the pandemic and in perpetuity to LMICs.The speed of the response to COVID-19 has been made possible by massive public investments aimed at supporting innovation. Since February 2020, the public sector has invested€ 93 billion in COVID-19 vaccines and therapeutics. 1 Roughly a third of this investment has come from the USA, 24% from the European Union and 13% from Japan and South Korea. Some governments, especially Britain and the European Union, have also made
