Purchase is first time 55-member AU has secured vaccines not fully produced in Africa

The AU intends to buy up to 110-million doses of Covid-19 vaccine from Moderna in an arrangement brokered in part by the White House, which will defer delivery of some doses intended for the US to facilitate the deal, officials said.

Masiyiwa said the Moderna purchase represented the first time the 55-member AU had secured vaccines that were not fully produced in Africa. “We are grateful to have helped negotiate this encouraging step forward between Moderna and the AU that will significantly expand access to vaccines on the continent in the near-term,” Quillian said.
