More vaccination campaigns on the continent might be brought to a complete halt because of India's export ban resulting in Covax supplies drying up.

Cape Town – At least seven countries in Africa have exhausted all their vaccine supplies, this is according to the World Health Organization.

India is currently facing the world's worst surge in coronavirus infections, which has led to a clamour for vaccines. The Serum Institute of India was expected to deliver the first 100 million doses between February and May – but Indian government data shows that it has so far delivered only 30 million .

Among those who have already exhausted their vaccine supply, includes Rwanda, Ghana, and Senegal. They will now need to wait several weeks for more to arrive.
