The COVAX initiative was deployed to offer an effective mechanism for purchasing Covid-19 vaccines and providing doses to countries with lower economic capacity. However, in practice, this has not worked, and COVAX has not obtained the necessary doses to achieve its goals in terms of dose distribution. Consequently, it highlights the importance of analyzing the factors involved in this cooperation failure. Therefore, this research is a case study that seeks to answer the question: What factors influenced the failure of COVAX during its first phase in the period 2020-2021? It proposes using the perspective offered by Neorealism, as it emphasizes states invoking the principle of sovereignty and opting for national interest over cooperation as a means to address the pandemic's consequences. Through a qualitative methodology of case study type, it is possible to propose two factors. First, the signing of unilateral agreements by developed countries. Second, the political management of vaccines through Vaccine Diplomacy by emerging powers. Thus, through the compilation of primary and secondary sources, it will be possible to understand the impact of the mentioned factors on the initial failure of COVAX.
