Nice sentiment but this is analogous to the concept of not throwing out food because there are starving people out there. The vaccine you're not taking isn't going to magically get reappropriated for use in the third world. Most likely, it will just go to waste.

Yes it is. My parents were vaccinated with vaccines not used by first world countries.

EDIT:

Also, consider that perhaps the West should be consuming (far) less resources including food? Eat what’s on your plate, even if you’re full, and skip the next meal. Your discomfort and hunger will help remind you next time to have an appropriate serving.
