Abstract

The inequity in vaccination is caused by a variety of factors. With a view to explore the global and interstate factors we used inequity indices. Our research questions are twofold: First, what is the extent of global inequity in vaccination and intercountry disparity? And second, what are the various factors leading to inequitable vaccination benefits at the global level and in the Indian states and their contribution to overall inequity as estimated by our inequity index.? Using the information and computing the index of inequity, we make an intercountry and interstate comparison. Finally, we suggest that how a better management of different factors will have an impact on reduction in inequitable vaccination benefit. We bring out useful insights for public health policy for making it more welfare oriented.
