Summary/Abstract: The chapter demonstrates the geopolitics of vaccination. First, we start by understanding how vaccination has become a geopolitical issue. Next, we consider the emergence of a European health actor during the crisis, through the pooling of vaccines, of which the countries of the Visegrad group have been witnesses and actors. Finally, we analyze the arrival of the Sputnik V vaccine in the context of a vaccine shortage, allowing us to test the relations of the States of the Visegrad group with Russia.
