Join our host, Jessica in conversation with Dr. Bridget Malewezi as we cover the global vaccine distribution. Has it been equal? And who has access to the vaccine?

While countries such as the United States of America have so far administered full doses of a vaccine to over 50% of their population, only 3-5 African countries are set to reach the 10% target. The World Health Organization also notes that of the 4.8 billion vaccine doses delivered to date globally, 75 percent have gone to only 10 countries while vaccine coverage in Africa is at less than 2 percent.

What some are terming “Vaccine Apartheid” has shown how wide the gap between the rich countries and the poor countries, particularly, the African continent, this poses the question, “Why is Africa being left behind?”
