Southern African countries ravaged by new COVID-19 strain are in urgent need of vaccines

MSF: Urgent need for vaccines as new COVID-19 strain ravages Mozambique, Eswatini and Malawi
2 February 2021 – As a highly infectious new strain of COVID-19 spreads through Southern Africa, health workers in Mozambique, Eswatini and Malawi are struggling to treat escalating numbers of patients with little prospect of a vaccine to protect them from the virus. International medical organisation Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF) calls for COVID-19 vaccines to be distributed equitably, prioritising and protecting frontline health workers and people at highest risk of severe illness and death from COVID-19 in all countries, including in Africa.
