On Thursday, the WHO stated that about 90% of African countries will not reach the September target to get at least 10% of their populations vaccinated against COVID-19. This warning comes as a third wave is on the brink of spreading through the continent. Matshidiso Moeti, the WHO's regional director for Africa, stated that the continent required at least an extra 225 million doses to be able to vaccinate a tenth of its people by September this year. So far the continent of Africa has recorded 5 million COVID-19 cases, with the southern regions being the worst affected, accounting for 37% of total cases according to a Reuters tally. South Africa is the worst affected country in Africa, with about 34% of the total cases and about 43% of all deaths.
