ఆఫ్రికాలో మూడు శాతంకే టీకాలు ప్రపంచానికి ముప్పు Three Percent Africans Vaccinated, Threat To World
Covid-19 Africa: What is happening with vaccine supplies?
Only around 3% of Africa's population is fully vaccinated, compared with around 54% in the US and 65% in the UK.
What's happened to supplies to Africa?
The WHO says African countries have so far received 158 million vaccine doses.
The global Covax vaccine scheme, intended to help poorer countries, has supplied about 37% of these, with most acquired through bilateral deals and donations.
Earlier this year, countries struggled to get supplies via Covax, but the situation improved in July and August.
Supply was partly boosted by wealthier countries donating to Covax - or directly to African nations.
