I don't know that we will be last but we sure won't be at the head of the list.
that's right - YOU DON'T KNOW! You don't know ALL the particulars of so-called pre-purchase agreements. You don't know which countries are relying entirely upon outside manufacturing of successful vaccine candidates... or which countries, per agreement, have secured the rights to manufacture the vaccine themselves... or which countries will be relying upon a mix of outside manufacturing and, per agreement, secured rights to allow in-country manufacturing. YOU DON'T KNOW!
of course, a key facet is whether or not countries have existing capable manufacturing ability or the means to retrofit/change existing manufacturing to align with successful vaccine requirements. Like Canada, moving to expand existing manufacturing and create new manufacturing capability:
as I mentioned in an earlier Aug 17 post, this latest announcement is over and above the financial support the Government of Canada initially provided for upgrades to the existing NRC Royalmount Avenue biomanufacturing facility in Montréal; specifically, upgrades to complete in late 2020/early 2021.

Obviously, we are not safe unless everyone is safe - a country can't go back to "normal" if raging epidemics persist across much of the rest of the world - GLOBAL economic recovery!
