South Africa, Egypt, Kenya, Nigeria, Senegal and Tunisia have been chosen by WHO to allow the African continent, which has had limited access to anti-Cavid vaccines, to manufacture its own anti-Cavid and others.
The announcement of the transfer of mRNA technology is to take place this Friday, February 18, 2022 in Brussels on Friday, February 18, 2022 during a ceremony on the sidelines of the summit between the European Union and the African Union.
Before the production of vaccines, the WHO will develop, with the first six chosen countries, a roadmap in terms of training and support.
The new productions in Africa, first of all intended to combat the COVVI-19, will be able to manufacture other vaccines and products.
