Ramaphosa says the presidents are making plans to ensure that vaccines used in Africa are bought from companies that make vaccines in Africa. Yet, “There’ve been no orders received for Aspenovax,” Aspen senior director Stavros Nicolaou told Reuters over the phone. Nicolaou said that in the long run the aim was to shift to producing other vaccines but that the firm had banked on these initial volumes to buy it time to establish the operation.
