(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 27 - Vaccinations against Covid-19 may not start in Africa until the middle of next year. The director of the Africa Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Dr. John Nkengasong, said in a press conference, which CNN reports, underlining that "we are very worried as a Continent that we will not have access to vaccines in a timely manner".


    "I have seen in the past how Africa is neglected when medicines are available," he added. For Nkengasong, the goal is to vaccinate 60% of the continent's population to gain herd immunity. (HANDLE).
