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

Wed, 2021-05-19 10:25 — 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

Experts say the U.S. pledge to deliver 80 million vaccine doses to other countries needs boosting

Tue, 2021-05-18 11:57 — mike kraft

The U.S. has promised 80 million vaccine doses to other countries. Experts say it isn’t nearly enough.

(New York Times) If all goes according to plan, the United States will soon send 80 million doses of Covid vaccines to help countries beleaguered by the coronavirus, President Biden said on Monday.

But world leaders, experts and advocates warn much more is needed to stop the virus from running rampant in much of the world, which gives it time to mutate and possibly evolve until it can evade vaccines.

Activists, too, have joined the cohort of voices calling on the Biden administration to move boldly. “Donating 80 million doses of vaccines without a plan to scale up production worldwide is like putting a Band-Aid on a machete wound,” said Gregg Gonsalves, a longtime AIDS activist.
