COVID-19: Vaccines Scarcity Exposes More People To Virus– Tomori

A Virologist, Prof. Oyewale Tomori, says that the scarcity of the COVID-19 vaccines across African countries is an indication that more people will be dangerously exposed to the virus.

Tomori, also the Chairman of, Ministerial Expert Advisory Committee on COVID-19, made the assertion in an interview with NAN on Friday in Lagos.

NAN reports that the World Health Organisation (WHO) in a recent virtual news conference announced the scarcity of COVID-19 vaccine.

This is as 47 of Africa’s 54 countries are likely to miss the September 2021 target of vaccinating 10 per cent of their population.
