Africa produces only 1% of vaccines administered on continent -Minister

Mr Ehanire said the partnership of African countries to push, as one, for vaccine availability for the entire continent is an excellent approach, which Nigeria subscribes to under the African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team and registered to access vaccines for 50 per cent of the population.

He said the challenges of financing, empowering regulatory bodies to meet global standards, raising research capacity, and getting advance government procurement commitments, can be surmounted if there is unity of purpose in Africa. “Our continent now has a unique opportunity, not to be missed, to press for manufacturing capability for COVID-19 vaccines, to satisfy the needs of the continent,” he said.

The United Nations Children Fund recently said it is important for all countries to access vaccines to reduce the risk of the virus spreading further and the threat of mutant strains.
