A Sierra Leone health official estimated that one-third of the West African country s 96,000 COVID-19 vaccines will likely not be used before they expire, while other African countries have destroyed some of their doses due to concerns over health safety, the
Associated Press reported.
Sierra Leone s health minister, Dr. Austin Demby, said that the vaccine doses the country received in March might go to waste because some residents believe COVID-19 is not as bad as the Ebola virus outbreak a few years ago.
