2. Exports
Exports are defined as the number of doses delivered across borders from producing economies to economies where vaccines are administered.
This Tracker defines a “producing economy” as a country or territory where final vaccines are made or where “fill and finish” is completed. This definition does not take into account exports of vaccine substances in bulk form shipped to “fill and finish” sites located in other countries or territories.

6. Vaccination Status
A course is defined as a series of vaccine doses required to be fully vaccinated. For COVID-19 vaccines that require two shots, the number of courses is the number of vaccine doses divided by two. For COVID-19 vaccines that require only one shot, the number of courses is the number of vaccine doses.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Low income | 234.0 | 17.2 | 6.3% | 3.3% | 678.4 |
