This action by the World Bank is part of its commitment to help low- and middle-income countries acquire and distribute vaccines and strengthen their health systems. \n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \n\u201cSignificant challenges remain with regard to the deployment of the vaccine and the reluctance [to be vaccinated, editor&#8217;s note]. We are taking action on all fronts to address these challenges, working in solidarity with international and regional partners to get doses to as many people as possible and to improve disease surveillance, preparedness and response. \u00bbSaid Axel van Trotsenburg, Managing Director of World Bank Operations. \n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThe 26 African countries concerned are Benin, Cape Verde, Comoros, Republic of Congo, C\u00f4te d&#8217;Ivoire, Democratic Republic of Congo, Eswatini (ex Swaziland), Ethiopia, Gambia, Ghana, Guinea, Guinea Bissau, Kenya, Lesotho, Madagascar, Malawi, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Sierra Leone, South Sudan, Sudan, Togo, Tunisia and Zambia. \n\n    \n  \n\n\n  \n    \n      \nThis funding will be used by these recipient states to acquire doses through COVAX, the Africa Vaccine Acquisition Task Team (AVATT) or other sources. Note that in total, the World Bank hopes to help vaccinate up to 400 million Africans, on a continent where vaccination campaigns are slowed down by supply difficulties and people&#8217;s fears about the risk of negative effects.\n\n    \n  \n\n","author":15,"featured_media":11128,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","tags":[699,779,698],"location":[505],"class_list":["post-12490","news","type-news","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-economy","tag-health","tag-news","location-africa"],"short_url":"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3kmxIRe","have_related_news":"done","chapo":"According to WHO Africa, since May 3, the continent has entered its third wave of the Covid19 pandemic.
