A New Report Shows That Africa Is Facing ‘Extreme Vaccine Discrimination’
Africa has little chance of recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic in the coming year due to “extreme vaccine discrimination,” according to a new report.
The World Health Organization has set the goal of fully vaccinating 40 percent of Africa’s population by the end of 2021, but only five of the continent’s 54 countries are set to reach that goal.
And only one in every 15 Africans has been fully vaccinated, or about 6.8 percent, according to the report from the Mo Ibrahim Foundation.
