The vaccine approval process was forwarded from 15 years to 10 months
Not all vaccines were authorized in all countries.

Wikipedia lists countries by authorisation of the different COVID-19/Vaccines by country.[1]

The maps show divisions between the authorisations. (Oxford–AstraZeneca, Pfizer-BioNTech, Sinopharm-BBIBP, Moderna, Sinovac, and Janssen)

Most countries feature.

Change of definition for boosters

In August, 2021, the US Centers for Disease Control redefined a vaccine, from being something that “produces immunity to a specific disease”[2] to something that merely “stimulates the body’s immune response against diseases,”[3] and a vaccination no longer “produces immunity” to a disease, just “protection” from a disease. This change makes the concept sound similar to basic non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or any prescription drug one have to keep taking regularly. This vague definition will make it easier for the government to recommend endless boosters for COVID.[4]
