Episode 83: The geopolitical challenges of COVID-19 vaccine delivery: Sub Saharan Africa - a podcast by Hear what our experts are saying

Sub-Saharan Africa is facing a dearth of vaccines and will be reliant in 2021 on external vaccine supply, particularly through pooled procurement schemes. The WHO estimates that, at best, 30-35% of Africa's 1.3 billion population could be vaccinated in 2021.
