One in Four African Health Workers Fully Vaccinated, WHO Says

Only a quarter of African health-care workers are fully vaccinated against Covid-19, the World Health Organization said, citing an analysis it did. 

The continent is the least vaccinated and this has stoked concern that the coronavirus could persist and mutate before spreading to other regions.

This leaves “the bulk of the workforce on the front lines against the pandemic unprotected,” WHO said in a statement on Wednesday.
