Africa cries out for Covid-19 vaccines

According to World Health Organisation (WHO) figures approximately eight per cent of Africa’s 1.3 billion population had been vaccinated against Covid-19 by the end of 2021. 

It’s unacceptable, indeed a shame on all of us in the developed world that approximately 92 per cent of people of the African continent have not been vaccinated.

In contrast, more than 60 per cent of the population of many countries in the developed world have been vaccinated against the virus.

In Ireland approximately 90 per cent of the population has been fully vaccinated.
