Pharmacology expert Dr Siya Ntutela, says stronger advocacy from government could go a long way in helping the continent’s Covid-19 vaccine take up.

Africa’s first COVID-19 vaccination plant at Gqeberha in the Eastern Cape risks shutting down due to a lack of orders., negotiated a licensing deal in November to package and sell Johnson and Johnson’s COVID-19 vaccine and distribute it across Africa. While there’s been a recent up-tick in covid-19 cases in South Africa, the latest World Health Organisation figures put Africa’s vaccination rate at only a sixth of adults.

Ntutela remains optimistic and says that, “We all know that most vaccines come from Europe, and the Americas, and now with a plant ready to serve and ready to supply many African countries. I think we should be able to see more African countries, coming down South to order these vaccines. It is worrying? Yes it is, but I don’t think to that level where we could be saying let’s throw the baby with the bathwater.
