Mahgister, I am responding to your morality question from my own perspective since I recently made the choice to get a booster vaccination. Before I got it, I did some checking with regard to availability elsewhere in the world. Currently 45.4% of the world population has received at least one Covid vaccination. The US currently ranks 18th in vaccination percentage at 64%, behind countries such as Portugal, Uruguay, Brazil, Canada and much of Europe. Checking a map of distribution, I saw that the predominant region with low vaccination rate is most of Africa in single digits. The issue there is primarily one of distribution and storage due to the ultralow temperature storage requirements. The fact that Biden had just several days ago pledged to purchase and make half a billion additional doses available for the rest of the world made my decision easier on my conscience.
