Could vaccine hesitancy derail Africa's battle against COVID-19? | Inside Story

Developing nations in Africa have waited months for COVID-19 vaccines as richer countries hoarded supplies.

While that remains a problem, hundreds of millions of shots are arriving at last.

But only seven percent of Africa's one point three billion population is fully inoculated.

Hesitancy is another problem, with widespread misinformation and scepticism about vaccines.

So what's needed to boost vaccination rates?

lol, maybe if you people were real journalists you would look at the Poland study and latest Colombian University study that shoots holes into the vaccine hype. You better do more research!

Could it be that Africa actually has internet and is well aware of the adverse effects happening to the West?

👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿👎🏿vaccines on the continent is a bad idea. More spike proteins circulating, more opportunities for the virus to mutate. This pandemic will never end!! In addition, can we interview some scientists with non- mainstream views on the virus and who are being censored.
