Malawi destroys nearly 200 000 expired Covid-19 vaccine doses Malawi s health ministry said the AstraZeneca vaccine doses had passed their expiry dates. The destruction was carried out publicly in a bid to encourage transparency and confidence in the vaccine rollout, it added. While the World Health Organisation said the destruction was regrettable , it noted expired doses must be removed from any rollout campaign. In a puff of smoke, Malawi destroyed nearly 20 000 expired Covid-19 vaccine doses on Wednesday. The destruction of 19 610 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine was a publicised event. Health Minister Khumbize Chaponda personally threw plastic bags of the expired vials into an incinerator, in a video posted to the health ministry s Twitter page.
