Abstract

COVID-19 has brought untold disaster to human society. Vaccination has drawn wide attention from the international community as an essential method to contain the epidemic. However, how to distribute the limited number of vaccines after the advent of the COVID-19 vaccine? Scholars have proposed many distribution schemes, which can be divided into three categories: vaccine nationalism, vaccine cosmopolitanism, and vaccine eclecticism. Since all countries put their national interests in the top position, as long as countries' positions and interests are not consistent, it is inevitable that what one country considers normal, deserved, and patriotic, while others consider malevolent, unjust, and nationalistic. Therefore, discussing who “should” get priority in COVID-19 vaccine distribution is meaningless, and countries worldwide cannot achieve consensus on this issue.
