I suspect we should also be vaccinating the wider world in order to minimize mutations which might nerf our vaccine and natural immunity. I’m of the impression that most of the world doesn’t hasn’t had even a single dose.
That said, last I checked, the US had donated more vaccine than all other countries combined and committed itself to many times more donations than it had already delivered. Further still, it was committed to building out the logistics infrastructure to make sure those vaccines get delivered and in such a way that other polities (e.g., Europe) can donate via that same infrastructure. Now we just need other polities to step up their donations.

It's very unevenly distributed, but it looks like we're at ~55% with a single dose and ~43% fully vaccinated: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccinations-tracker.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2021/world/covid-vaccina...
