The slow uptake in COVID-19 vaccines in Africa requires global partners and countries to reset their programmes.

WHO urges African countries to urgently ramp up COVID-19 vaccinations as the squeeze on vaccine shipments eases.

Recovery will be challenging without increased supply of vaccines across the continent.

Just 2% of the continent’s nearly 1.3 billion people have received one dose and only 9.4 million Africans are fully vaccinated.
