The country plans to vaccinate a third of the population in 2021 and double that figure next year. On 3 March, Rwanda received 240 000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccines through the COVAX Facility as the vaccine-procurement platform began deliveries to Africa. So far 44 African countries have received COVID-19 vaccines and 32 of them started vaccinations. Rwanda enhanced its cold-chain system in readiness to launch vaccination. The country now has a capacity to store about 300 000 vaccine doses thanks to five new ultra-cold refrigerators – one of the key readiness measures to acquire, store and distribute the vaccines.
