Why thousands of Covid-19 vaccine doses going to waste in Africa

Wed, 2021-05-19 14:25 — mike kraft
African countries have struggled to secure enough Covid-19 vaccines. So why are thousands of doses going to waste? While many African nations are still struggling to get enough Covid-19 vaccines to protect their populations, those that have managed to shore up doses are struggling to administer them in time. Now they're facing the bitter reality of having to destroy thousands of expired doses. By <a href="/profiles/julia-hollingsworth">Julia Hollingsworth</a> and Adam Renton, CNN CNN

Covid-19: Africa scrambles to increase genomic testing capacity as variants spread

Fri, 2021-05-07 21:56 — mike kraft
Covid-19: Africa scrambles to increase genomic testing capacity as variants spread African countries are struggling to bolster genomic sequencing as SARS-CoV-2 variants spread on the continent, reports Abdullahi Tsanni As the world entered 2021, the covid-19 pandemic began a new phase, one dominated by worries over emerging variants. But the way of detecting these threats has not been standardised—even in the UK, where genomic sequencing is relatively frequent, only 5-10% of covid-19 positive cases were being sequenced at the start of the year.1 The spotlight on sequencing has highlighted inequalities in global capacity. Many countries in Africa do not perform sequencing themselves, and those that do only do so on a small scale.

Africa: coronavirus vaccine hesitancy adds to slow rollout of doses

Wed, 2021-04-28 20:49 — mike kraft
In Africa, vaccine hesitancy adds to slow rollout of doses KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Some Africans are hesitating to get COVID-19 vaccines amid concerns about their safety, alarming public health officials as some countries start to destroy thousands of doses that expired before use. Malawi and South Sudan in recent days have said they will destroy some of their doses, a concerning development on a continent where health officials have been outspoken about the need for vaccine equity as the world's rich nations hold the bulk of shots.
