The research reveals a region divided. Countries in the Northern Pacific have benefitted from the United States' vaccine rollout, and small island nations have been quick to take advantage of supply to reach high coverage rates.

@BBCYaldaHakim Hakim: I've seen the horrors of war and what that does - the impact of that on a community and a society. But I think what I didn't really ever grasp, or fully understand is when you, yourself, become very much part of the story, when the story is so personal to you.
@BBCYaldaHakim Hakim: I have now, eight weeks after the fall of Kabul really started to think about whether this has been a liability or a strength as a journalist. And I'm really having a moment of soul searching.
