International Relations and Cooperation Minister, Dr Naledi Pandor, has once again shone the spotlight on vaccine nationalism.
Speaking during her opening remarks as the chairperson of the African Union (AU) Executive Council, Pandor said the most important public health measure to prevent COVID-19 is a vaccine.
However, she raised concerns about the cost of the lifesaving jabs that have put African countries on the back burner.
“All countries must get vaccines and must get them speedily,” she said on Wednesday.
