In the intro, define vaccine nationalism.
In the body, discuss in detail how the rich countries have been amassing the approved vaccine and its implications for the poor countries. Next mention how India and China has been at the front of providing vaccine to the other countries. In a democratic country such as India this could lead to the backlash yet India is supplying vaccine to the other nations. India’s approach has innitiated the debate in the rich countries.
Conclude by mentioning that the COVAX project could help in this regard.
