The Pfizer vaxx should be approved for kids by the end of the month.https://t.co/PcUr1MiRPf
Just 3.6% of Africa's population is fully vaccinated. That's not just a moral failing, it also leaves the entire world more vulnerable to new virulent variants that emerge because of uncontrolled spread, as @MoetiTshidi powerfully writes. https://t.co/Vd9KcDQRok

Rich Countries Worry About Booster Shots. They Should Be Worried About Africa. Just 20% of people in LMIC countries are vaccinated, compared to 80% in high- and upper-middle income countries, by @MoetiTshidi https://t.co/RSfaqDmwbW via @NYTopinion #COVID19 #VaccineEquity

I appreciate the opportunity provided by @nytimes to widely share my views on why booster shots would be better spent saving African lives and the importance of vaccine equity.

I congratulate @nytopinion for sharing a diverse range of views. https://t.co/HPbFu0Vfo2
"Some estimates indicate that even if rich countries do approve booster shots, they will still have more than one billion excess doses by the end of 2021. But that does not mean those doses will be shared or will reach those who need them in time."https://t.co/T8V3O7LHl7

The people facing the most risk must be vaccinated first. Wherever they are." -@WHOAFRO Dir. @MoetiTshidi https://t.co/esIoTnTSEP
An FDA advisory panel may have green-lit a third shot of the Pfizer vaccine for a somewhat narrow slice of the population, but the messy process of figuring out who should get another shot of the vaccine — and when — has likely just begun. https://t.co/Wyijj9OuhV
