This event is co-hosted by NYU School of Global Public Health as part of an ongoing Anti-Racism Series. We are proud to join with NYU DC and The John Brademas Center of New York University for this important discussion.
According to the World Health Organization, as of mid-March, 2021, approximately 7 million doses of Covid-19 vaccination have been given in Africa. Cumulatively, over 25 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines have been received in 38 African countries, 30 of which have started vaccination campaigns. However, much more remains to be done to ensure that Africans, many of whom have been subjects in vaccine trials, are in line to benefit. At the current rate, these countries won’t reach 60% vaccine coverage until 2023 or beyond.
