Abstract
Covid-19 has exposed the structural injustice in global society. This is reflected in the maldistribution of vaccines between rich and poor countries. The hoarding of vaccines by the richest nations is one of the most disturbing realities of this global pandemic. We argue that vaccine inequality ought to be examined through the lenses of postcolonial theory.
