Abstract
Given the dynamics of the economic and societal impact of the present COVID-19 pandemic and the global attempt to protect both socioeconomic well-being and human lives through vaccination, essential information and research result on the equitable distribution, effectiveness, and efficacy of vaccines is essential sparse. We conducted a bibliometric analysis to reveal research and knowledge on global vaccination of COVID-19, identify the current challenges of the vaccines rolled out, and find out how all these can influence global COVID-19 vaccine uptake. A comprehensive search of the Web of Science for literature to unravel the knowledge and research gaps regarding the global overview of the COVID-19 vaccination was conducted. We discovered low literature on COVID-19 vaccinations in Low and Middle-Income Countries (LMICs) and inequitable distribution. Therefore, we underscore the urgent need to activate, advocate, and develop evidence-based solid research to promote the globally efficacious and equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines.
