World Health Organisation Regional Office for Africa (WHO-AFRO) says there are vital lessons to learn from Africa’s COVID-19 vaccination rollout, such as planning and preparation.
Forty-seven African countries are now rolling out COVID-19 vaccines and over 17 million doses are given on the continent.
Angola, Ghana, Mauritius and Rwanda have made strong progress.
In a statement, the WHO-AFRICA says nearly 40 African countries developed national vaccination plans before COVID-19 vaccines began arriving in bulk on the continent, many with support and guidance from WHO.
It says the early and wide-ranging preparation by African countries is paying off, as countries with good plans and logistical capacities already in place began vaccinating their priority populations the fastest.
