Africa aims to have 60% of its population vaccinated against COVID-19 within the next two to three years, the African Union's disease control group said on Thursday, Reuters reports. The control group said that vaccinations were unlikely to start in Africa until midway through 2021.
“If it takes us four to five years, then the virus will be endemic in our communities,” said John Nkengasong, Director of the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention.
He said there were logistical problems to overcome in Africa, including how to keep vaccines cold.
