I would like tentatively to share the contents of the article carried in the Axios.
COVID vaccine supply struggles are easing, but in 44 countries — most of them in Africa — less than 20% of the population is fully vaccinated. In 19, the rate is under 10%.
Those countries "have doses now, and they know that there are more doses available," says Seth Berkley, CEO of the Gavi vaccine alliance and point person for the global COVAX initiative. After a year of waiting for vaccine doses, the primary concern is now delivery.
Africa CDC director John Nkengasong last month asked countries to pause vaccine donations until the second half of the year.
Rather than a sudden glut of vaccines, he said African countries need steady, predictable shipments that can be used before they expire.
Berkley says storage is now less of a limiting factor thanks to improved cold chains and deployment of non-mRNA vaccines in harder-to-reach areas.
But other challenges that vary country to country remain, requiring COVAX to tailor "bespoke plans."
