Like many poor countries, South Africa was made to wait months for vaccines as wealthier countries monopolized them. Many countries still do not have anywhere near enough doses to inoculate their populations.

Fri, 2021-10-08 19:19 — mike kraft

Scientists hail historic malaria vaccine... Nature - The WHO-approved RTS,S vaccine has modest efficacy and requires a complex regimen of doses, so ample funding and clear communication will be crucial to success. Maxmen, Amy nature
