Dr John Nkengasong says he is suffering from coronavirus but 'wouldn't be here' without the jab.
The head of the agency leading Africa's response to the coronavirus pandemic has said he owes his life to the vaccine after he caught the virus."I want to be very clear without [the vaccine] I wouldn't be here," he said at a weekly briefing announcing the deployment of recently acquired jabs.Less than 2% of Africa's population has been fully vaccinated.
African leaders have blamed the slow rollout on "vaccine nationalism" saying that rich countries have been buying up and hoarding doses. On Thursday, Dr Nkengasong announced the beginning of the distribution of 400 million Johnson & Johnson jabs acquired through the African Vaccine Acquisition Task Team.
