As West Africa starts vaccine rollout, what role should technology play? By Titilayo Adewumi, Regional Sales Director: West Africa at SAP NAIROBI, Kenya, 5 May, 2021 -/African Media Agency(AMA)/- After more than a year of lockdowns and disruption caused by the global COVID-19 pandemic, African countries are preparing for the most ambitious vaccine rollout in human history.

This will require investment into local supply chains and a concerted effort by governments and health organisations to build trust with local populations to ensure every person that needs a vaccine is able to receive one.
