Exclusive: Up to 1 million COVID vaccines expired in Nigeria last month

Governments on the continent of over one billion people have been pushing for more vaccine deliveries as inoculation rates lag richer regions, increasing the risk of new variants such as the Omicron coronavirus now spreading across South Africa.

In Nigeria, Africa's most populous nation and home to more than 200 million people, fewer than 4% of adults have been fully vaccinated, according to the World Health Organization (WHO).

A recent surge in supply has caused a new problem, however: many African countries are finding they do not have the capacity to manage the shots, some of which come with a short shelf life.

The expired doses were made by AstraZeneca (AZN.L) and delivered from Europe, the sources with direct knowledge of vaccine delivery and use told Reuters. They were supplied via COVAX, the dose-sharing facility led by the GAVI vaccine alliance and the WHO which is increasingly reliant on donations.

  3. The point is that the WHO is telling developed countries to hold off on boosters and 4th doses because the developing world isn't vaccinated yet, implying that the greedy West is hording all the vaccines. This is clearly not true.

  6. They say that not all life was killed, but the theory says 75% was killed. So there is no real contradiction.
    Also. There are parallels with the mabul. Was it a separate event, a precursor?
