Malawi's stock of Covid-19 vaccines is dangerously low, with only 540 doses left.
With only 540 Covid-19 vaccine doses left, Malawi is entering a potentially perilous third wave of coronavirus infections. It was"understandable" that India, a country of more than a billion people, was focusing on the safety of its own population, he added. For now, the country was reliant on non-pharmaceutical measures like mask wearing, social distancing and the use of hand sanitiser.
The country's vaccine rollout kicked off in March with 512 000 doses, said Dr Nonhlanhla Dlamini, WHO representative in Malawi. Most of these – 360 000 doses – were acquired via Covax, the global vaccine acquisition alliance. The Indian government also donated 50 000 doses.Malawi also benefitted from South Africa's AstraZeneca doses.
"The scepticism was coming from the healthcare workers themselves, and of course they talk out there within the communities," Dlamini said.
