African countries will pay between $3 (R44.65) and $10 (R148.85) per vaccine dose to access 270 million Covid-19 shots secured this month by the African Union (AU), according to a draft briefing on the plan prepared by the African Export-Import Bank

President Cyril Ramaphosa, who serves as AU chair, said last week arrangements had been made with the bank to support member states who want access to vaccines. Countries can pay back the loans in instalments over five to seven years, the document showed.

The companies supplying shots Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson and the Serum Institute of India did not immediately respond to requests for comment. AstraZeneca, whose shots Serum will provide, declined to comment. More than 3.3 million Covid-19 cases and over 80 000 deaths have been recorded on the continent to date..

Serum will provide 100 million doses of AstraZeneca’s vaccine at $3 each, according to the draft document, roughly what it said would be the price for India’s government. That is enough to vaccinate 50 million people with its two-dose regimen.

I owe you an apology to ever doubt your sincerity and professionalism. It’s was just like a dream to me when I received my first payment. After my second payment it became a reality now after several payments it has become a way of life. marksust7

LindaGailBekker About $3 for Ox-AZ vaccine has been the advertised cost price for about 6 months. If COVAX get their act together they should be able to offer it at less - given the money the UK + many other countries are giving to COVAX. We wait to see reality.
