Nigeria has recently had to dispose of 1 million vaccines because they were donated by other countries too close to their expiry date.

You'd have thought that the rise of Omicron would have made it clear to the governments of richer countries that ensuring poorer countries have access to vaccines would be in everyone's interest. However, the need for all countries to have equal access to vaccines seems to be mainly ignored by richer governments and the media.

Would it help poorer countries if as well as providing vaccine doses that weren't a few weeks away from expiry richer countries helped them with the vaccine distribution chain?
