African countries are starting mass Covid inoculation drives using vaccines supplied through a scheme set up to share doses fairly with poorer nations.

Ivory Coast is one of the first to benefit from the UN-backed Covax distribution initiative, with injections beginning on Monday.

Ghana is also launching its vaccination drive this week.

Ghana’s President Nana Akufo-Addo on Monday became the first to receive a coronavirus vaccine through the scheme.
