Le stock mondial de vaccins contre le choléra est épuisé, ce qui est préoccupant pour l'Afrique australe. Quelles sont les raisons et les mesures prises pour remédier aux pénuries en Afrique ?
- Research Officer / EIDM Specialist, University of Cape Town
The world’s stockpile of cholera vaccines has run dry, bad news for cholera-ravaged southern Africa. Why is this and what is being done to address vaccine shortages in Africa?
The aim of vaccination is to prevent infection. In addition, vaccination is intended to reduce the risk of severe illness.
The pandemic has disrupted national immunisation programmes. As a result, the African continent is seeing more outbreaks of vaccine preventable diseases.
In Africa, it’s more rational to prioritise vaccine access, rapid rollout and community engagement, than pushing the narrative of vaccine-induced population immunity.
