Developing countries, especially African countries are going through a very tough stage in terms of availability of the Vaccine doses. As most of them doesn’t have indigenous facilities to produce vaccines, it is becoming disastrous in terms of economic and health stability.

The present vaccination statistics shows Israel at the top of the chart with around 116 doses per 100 persons. And they have now almost declared a non-mask life inside their country.

The below chart shows the situation of developing African countries (Source- Financial Times).

See the position of Kenya which is 121 with just 1.6 vaccines per 100 persons.

Another disastrous fact is that most of these countries were planning to have dosages from India where the worst wave is hitting (around 400,000 cases and 4,000 deaths per day). India is 71st in this chart with only 11.2 vaccinations per 100.

It will be a full catastrophe if the second wave is hitting these countries where the economic situation is in the worst condition unlike countries like India.

Amidst this critical situation, Kenya is having a very uncommon situation whereas some dosages of Sputnik Vaccines are available in the Country, but not able to administer because of some political games (In fact, they ordered to re-export these vaccines, damn!!!!).

Hope the Authorities of all African Countries will consider the matters seriously and value the lives of their people over the silly political games and mere egos.

May God give Wisdom to them abundantly!!!
