Nicaise Ndembi, senior science adviser for the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), told The Associated Press in an interview that the current AU chair, South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, is expected to announce the news shortly. The 300 million doses are being secured independently of the global COVAX effort aimed at distributing Covid-19 vaccines to lower-income countries, Ndembi said. “We have reached the final stage of our deals,” he said, referring questions about who will be providing the vaccines and at what cost to the upcoming announcement. While richer countries have been urged to donate any excess Covid-19 vaccine doses to countries in need, Ndembi said that “the Africa CDC is not going to the table to beg for vaccines. We’re going to the table to buy.
