COVID-19 Vaccine rollout begins in Ethiopia

Ethiopia’s Ministry of Health launched its COVID-19 vaccination rollout, with Health Care Workers as the first to be inoculated on Saturday in the country’s capital, Addis Ababa.

Earlier last week, the East African country successfully secured nine million doses of COVID-19 vaccines up until April. The first shipment of 2.2 million AstraZeneca vaccines produced by Serum Institute of India (SII) arrived in Ethiopia on 6 March 2021 through COVAX, which facilitated the procurement and shipment of the vaccines. Subsequent shipments of 5.4 million doses as part of the current global deployment plan are expected to arrive in Ethiopia by May 2021.
