Ivory Coast has become the second country to receive a shipment of vaccines on 26 February 2021 via COVAX, the global vaccine-sharing programme.
The vaccines, 504,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine made by the Serum Institute of India, arrived on Friday in the commercial capital, Abidjan, paving the way for the West African nation to launch a vaccination campaign next week.
