Africa Vaccine Acquisition Task Team (AVATT) has received an offer of 300 million doses of Russia’s Sputnik V vaccine.
Director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC), John Nkengasong, said the body is “tremendously proud” to offer the doses which will be available in May to the 54 member states. AVATT was set up by the African Union to acquire additional vaccine doses as Africa targets to immunise 60 percent of the population.
