Where are the majority of vaccines produced ending up nowadays? Rich countries placed orders greater than they could possibly use, and now rates of take-up are slowing in those countries. Presumably vaccine is being produced as fast as ever to fulfil those orders. Is Covax actually getting the excess to the rest of the world?

In fairness to the rich countries, when they placed orders no one really knew how many people would be willing to get vaccinated. So naturally they estimated on the high side.
