Restructuring Borders and Mobilities in Response to COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution: The Case of Africa
Abstract
This study examines the inequitable distribution of vaccines under the COVID-19 pandemic, and explores the context of the emergence of health inequality and restrictions on mobility opportunities, with a case of the African continent, in order to emphasize the need for a change in awareness and practical strategies to implement mobility justice. Under the COVID-19 pandemic, vaccination status and the type of vaccine administered has become the standard for border management as new identity information, which (re)produces discriminatory and exclusive relationships. In the case of Africa, health inequality that has persisted since the colonial era has led to inequality in vaccine distribution in the context of COVID-19, which is again exacerbating socioeconomic vulnerability through reduced mobility opportunities and network capital. The exclusive vaccine approval and unequal vaccine procurement in countries around the world are restructuring border management methods and mobility, which represents the biogeopolitics of infectious diseases to achieve geopolitical goals based on biopolitical governance. Breaking the flow that leads to worsening health inequality, mobility reduction, and socioeconomic vulnerability in underdeveloped countries is primarily to practice distributive justice through equal distribution of vaccines. It ultimately requires contemplation and reflection on whether the way in which the human body is regarded as a boundary through vaccines leads to the differentiation of mobility rights and opportunities.
