Many African counries are expected to receive their first covid-19 vaccine doses in March from the United Nations covas effort. The World Health Organization's Africa director recently announced the plan. The statements comes as death on the continent from the disease have been rising. Covac is a plan from WHO, the European commission and France to vaccinate people in poor and middle-income countries against covid-19. ** is the WHO regional director for Africa. She told reporters that a large supply of the millions of doses from covac is expected by June. It is the second major vaccine announcement in one week for the African continent of 1.3 billion people. Last Wednesday, the leader of the African Union said 270 million doses came from * Johnson& Johnson and * through the * institue of India. About 600 million doses are expected to be provided through the vovac effort. Doses are expected to be given to countries based on population size and the severity of their health crissis. Health workers will receive the dose first as thousands of them have been infected. African countries are now recording about 30000 new virus cases each day, compared to 18000 during the first surge months ago. John and * is the director of the Africa centers or disease control or prevention (Africa CDC). He said that confirmed death from covid-19 jumped 21% in one week in Africa, with more than 5400 reported. The continent has more than 3.1 million confirmed virus cases including more than 75000 death. This second wave of infections is hitting very very hard, said *. The case death rate in Africa is now 2.4% which is above the world's rate of 2.2%. Around 20 African countries have case death rate above the world average. They include Sudan at 6%, Egypt at 5%, Mali at 3.9%, Congo at 3.1% and South Afria at 3.8%. South Africa is one of the world's hardest hit countries. A highly infectious variant of the virus now makes up most new cases. The country has more than 1.2 million cases including 35000 death. WHO's * said gene sequencing tests have found the new variants in three other countries *, * and *. The importance of a strong generic * system cannot be overstated, * said. Africa CDC director ** said the fast growing number of cases means we run into short supply of oxygen. He has been seeking to increase the supply to Africa where medical oxygen is no easy to get. Vaccine doses from the covac effort are expected to reach 20% of the population in Africa. Officials are pushing to secure enough doses to meet the goal of vaccinating the 60% needed to achieve herd-amunity against the virus. The vaccinations will require a very massive historic campaign of a kind that the continet has never seen. And * said. There are already concerns about how African countries will be able to store vaccines that require extremely cold storage. And * said African governments are being advised to get deep breezers to start the vaccinations at hospitals and large cities. They are advised to then cring people to those points to reveive the vaccines. |
