More reasons have emerged why Nigeria and so many other developing countries may not get their second batches of COVID-19 vaccines under the COVAX facility until September.
A reliable source at the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) told The Guardian yesterday: “We are expecting to get the next batch of COVID-19 vaccines in August. But with what is happening in India, I don’t think that will be possible. Most of the vaccines, call it AstraZeneca or Johnson & Johnson, are all mass-produced in India. Also, most of the vaccines under COVAX facility are coming from India. India has also banned all exports of vaccines and essential drugs and medical equipment.”

“The COVAX Facility – the global COVID vaccine equity scheme – will deliver its 65 millionth dose in the coming days. It should have been at least its 170 millionth. By the time G7 leaders gather in the UK next month, and as a deadly second wave of COVID-19 will likely continue to sweep across India and many of its South Asian neighbours, the shortfall will near 190 million doses.
“We have issued repeated warnings of the risks of letting down our guard and leaving low- and middle-income countries without equitable access to vaccines, diagnostics and therapeutics. We are concerned that the deadly spike in India is a precursor to what will happen if those warnings remain unheeded. While the situation in India is tragic, it is not unique. Cases are exploding and health systems are struggling in countries near – like Nepal, Sri Lanka and Maldives – and far, like Argentina and Brazil. The cost for children and families will be incalculable.
