<![CDATA[At first the health issue was the main task for each country to each of its people. But now the health issue has become part of a global issue whose dynamics have become the focus of various international collaborations. In this case, the Covid-19 pandemic, which has been running for more than a year in the world since the outbreak in China, has now found various innovations regarding vaccines to prevent the spread of Covid-19. This innovation in the production of the Covid-19 vaccine is controlled by various international pharmaceutical companies. However, in terms of the distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine globally, it appears that several developed countries have implemented protectionist approach with the aim of securing the availability of the Covid-19 vaccine for their domestic needs. In this study, the author would like to explain that the Vaccine Nationalism practices that occurred during the Covid 19 pandemic era were a policy development from the perspective of Neomercantilism in the study of international political economy. This article was written using a qualitative research method with a descriptive type of research. The results of this study explain that the practice of vaccine nationalism is the steps taken by developed countries in treating vaccines as a strategic commodity, not as a global public commodity. Developing and less developed countries have the potential to experience barriers to accessing the availability of vaccines in dealing with the Covid-19 pandemic.]]>
