71% of South Africans were would get a #COVID19sa vaccine, according to country's first nationally representative survey on #vaccinehesitancy. Afrikaans home language speakers were more likely than other language groups to be vaccine-hesitant, shows new NIDS-CRAM data. #COVID19
NIDS-CRAM survey looked at the extent of vaccine hesitancy among about 6630 adults in SA, the reasons why & who might be more or less likely to be vaccine hesitancy. The survey found the highest level of vaccine willingness (71%) of surveys so far.
About 31% of vaccine-hesitant people in South Africa are worried about side effects and about 20% are either worried about the effectiveness of jabs or don't believe in vaccines generally. #COVID19 #COVID19sa

[THREAD] Yesterday, US Trade Rep. Ambassador Katherine Tai issued a statement: Biden administration will support waiving intellectual property protections on #COVID19 vaccines. Here’s why it’s historic but may not go far enough. #COVID19vaccines #TRIPSwaiver
2/7 In Oct, India & South Africa proposed WTO waive intellectual property protections related to, for instance, patents & manufacturing on #COVID19 vaccines, medicines, tests etc, to contain pandemic. This #TRIPSwaiver would apply for a limited time. 100+ countries support this
3/7 Many Global North vaccine-producing countries, including US & Canada, have not historically supported #TRIPSwaiver. Both countries have however been happy to propose curtailing patent protection at home to protect public health. bit.ly/VaccineNationa…

[Thread] #Moderna CEO Stéphane Bancel has confirmed the #COVID19vaccine maker is exploring a possible plant in #Africa. Here’s why experts think mRNA technology could finally put Africa in control of its vaccine supply — and its outbreaks. #Covid19 bit.ly/mRNAinAfrica
2/5 In the '09 H1N1 pandemic, Africa was last in line for jabs as vaccine-producing countries refused to export jabs until domestic needs were met. Today, history is repeating. The US has immunised at least 10x as many people as ALL OF AFRICA. #COVID19 bit.ly/mRNAinAfrica
3/5 For decades, #Africa has tried to kickstart local vaccine production. Today only 10 firms do any type of manufacturing — mostly late-stage packaging of vaccines formulated abroad. This could change & sooner than you think. #Covid19vaccine #Covid19 bit.ly/mRNAinAfrica A map of vaccine production in Africa. Source: Africa CDC

2/5 It's unclear whether South Africa will receive a previously stated #COVAX allocation of 117,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine. Mkhize says in this statement that COVAX can only offer #AstraZeneca & Novavax, which he says SA isn't using b/c of variants bit.ly/SAVaccineUpdate
