It is easy to stand at a distance and claim that it would be immoral to give booster shots when many countries don't have enough first shots. However, they (WHO) are ignoring the realities of the logistics problems that these countries have in distributing and shipping these vaccines that have stringent storage and utilization requirements. Those countries need to fix their medical distribution systems first to handle the volumes that are really needed for the vaccines that they have access to.

There are multiple vaccines out there that don't have such stringent requirements. Even the J&J vaccine doesn't have those requirements.
As far as I know, only Comirnaty is currently being used as a booster, and it is the most restrictive of all currently approved vaccines.
