COVID-19 vaccination programs are ongoing in the majority countries and territories in Africa, with 51 of 54 African countries having launched vaccination programs by July 2021.[1] As of October 2023, 51.8% of the continent's population is fully vaccinated with over 1084.5 million doses administered.[2]

Starting vaccine programs in Africa

As vaccine programs began, the World Health Organization predicted in June 2021 that 47 of Africa's 54 nations would fall short of the aim of vaccinating 10% of their people by September 2021. At that time, Africa accounted for fewer than 1% of worldwide vaccine doses delivered,[3][4][5][6] and by early 2022, Africa received in total less than 2% of the 3 billion vaccination doses provided globally.[7][8]

On 15 July 2021, WHO Africa's coordinator for immunization and vaccines development reported that African nations had destroyed some 450,000 vaccine doses due to their expiry dates. He cited Malawi, South Sudan, Liberia, Mauritania, Gambia, Sierra Leone,[9] Guinea, Comoros and the Democratic Republic of Congo as examples.[10]

Also in July 2021, the European Investment Bank committed to fund Senegal's first COVID-19 vaccine production factory, at Institut Pasteur de Dakar. By the end of 2022, this factory is expected to manufacture up to 25 million doses of a licensed COVID-19 vaccine per month. This is part of a wide effort by the European Investment Bank to address the health and economic impact of COVID-19.[11][12][13] Meanwhile, BioNTech and the European Union are collaborating to assess mRNA vaccine production facilities in Rwanda and Senegal.[14][15][16][17]

In seven African countries (Botswana, Cape Verde, Mauritius, Morocco, Rwanda, Seychelles, Tunisia) the entire targeted population had been fully vaccinated by the end of 2021. At the other end of the scale, there was no mass vaccination in Eritrea, while in Burundi and the Democratic Republic of the Congo less than 0.4% of the targeted population had been fully vaccinated.

Main article: COVID-19 vaccination in Zimbabwe

Zimbabwe began its vaccination program on 22 February 2021, initially using 200,000 doses of the Sinopharm BIBP vaccine.[170][171]

52% of the target population had been fully vaccinated at the end of 2021.

Variants resistant to vaccines

Beta variant

The Beta variant of the disease is more resistant than other variants to some existing vaccines.

In January 2021, Johnson & Johnson, which held trials for its Janssen COVID-19 vaccine in South Africa, reported the level of protection against moderate to severe COVID-19 infection was 72% in the United States, but 57% in South Africa.[172]

On 6 February 2021, The Financial Times reported that provisional trial data from a study undertaken by South Africa's University of the Witwatersrand in conjunction with Oxford University demonstrated reduced efficacy of the Oxford–AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine against the 501.V2 variant. The study found that in a sample size of 2,000 the AZD1222 vaccine afforded only "minimal protection" in all but the most severe cases of COVID-19.[173]

On 7 February 2021, the Minister for Health for South Africa suspended the planned deployment of around 1 million doses of the vaccine whilst they examine the data and await advice on how to proceed.[174]

In February, Moderna reported that the current vaccine produced only one-sixth of the antibodies in response to the South African variant compared with the original virus. They have launched a trial of a new vaccine to tackle the South African 501.V2 variant.[175]

On 17 February 2021, Pfizer announced neutralization activity was reduced by two thirds for the 501.V2 variant, while stating no claims about the efficacy of the vaccine in preventing illness for this variant could yet be made.[176]
