> That "saved" dose isn't going to end up going to someone who needs in more in a developing nation. What makes you say that? There are also developed nations

  Because the US government policy of which doses are reserved for people in the US vs doses being donated isn't based on if you as an individual want to donate your dose to someone else. That's not how the logistics of delivering vaccines work. You can publicly write letters or call your representatives on where you feel deserves priority. In practice, you can't exactly ship "your" vaccine dose to some other nation (developed or developing). You can wait to get a booster, and hope someone who needs it more gets it first. But even then someone else around you, where you live, will take "your" vaccine. https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/03/1023822839/biden-is-sending-110-million-vaccines-to-nations-in-need-thats-just-a-first-step https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2021/08/03/1023822...
