A local resident receives the COVID-19 vaccine in Zomba, Malawi, March 11, 2021. /Xinhua Editor’s note: Oyeronke Oyebanji is a public-health professional and a 2021 Aspen New Voices Fellow, Strategy Coordinator at the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations and a member of the COVAX Strategy Coordination Office. The article reflects the author’s opinions and not necessarily the views of CGTN. The first vaccine deliveries by the COVID-19 Vaccine Global Access (COVAX) facility to Ghana, Nigeria, and Côte d’Ivoire brought a glimmer of hope to African countries keen to start immunizing their populations against the disease. But while COVAX is ramping up deliveries, its mission to provide rapid, fair, and equitable access to COVID-19 vaccines to people everywhere is being threatened by rich countries ordering more than they need. This worrying global imbalance in vaccine distribution could hold back Africa’s recovery and prolong the pandemic worldwide.
