Africa’s first COVID-19 vaccination plant, touted last year as a trailblazer for an under-vaccinated continent frustrated by sluggish Western handouts, risks shutting down after receiving not a single order, a company executive said on Saturday.

ReutersJohnson & Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccineThe World Health Organisation called the deal a “transformative moment” in the drive towards levelling stark inequalities in access to COVID vaccines.

Yet, “There’ve been no orders received for Aspenovax,” Aspen senior director Stavros Nicolaou told Reuters over the phone. African countries have struggled with logistical issues, lack of skilled staff, cold chains and other problems surrounding the distribution of vaccines. Another issue is that, after initially leaving Africa out in the cold, donor countries have since paid up and the continent is now well supplied.

“If you don’t breach this short term gap with orders, you can’t sustain these capacities on the continent,” he said, at a time when health officials want to vaccinate three-quarters of the continent’s population.
