Samenvatting

Equity in access and distribution methods has been a major concern in relation to the global distribution of COVID-19 vaccinations. The ARP conducts a comparative analysis to examine the procurement strategies and socioeconomic fairness issues in the distribution of COVID-19 vaccines in two distinct contexts, namely Indonesia and the Netherlands. This study investigates the methods these nations use to obtain and disseminate vaccines, as well as how well they work to ensure fair access for people from varying socioeconomic backgrounds. The International Covenant on Economic, Social, and Cultural Rights (ICESCR), which upholds the right to well-being and accessibility to medical care, is the foundation for the methods used.

This comparative study uses a desk-based research approach and makes use of methods for thorough analysis, data gathering, and literature reviews. The examination of socioeconomic factors, the healthcare system, vaccination law frameworks, and other factors in this ARP aims to shed light on the variables influencing differences in the dispersion of the COVID-19 vaccination. It assesses how well international institutions and state policies uphold the values of accessibility and fairness. This ARP contributes to the continuing discussion on global health fairness by identifying obstacles, achievements, and differences in vaccination distribution techniques between Indonesia and the Netherlands. Furthermore, it offers an opinion piece that can function as a guide for any upcoming legislative initiatives meant to lessen the effects of pandemics on vulnerable groups of people.
