Malawi becomes first African country to publicly destroy 17,000 expired AstraZeneca vaccines
Malawi on Wednesday destroyed nearly 17,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine that had expired in mid-April, with the health minister blaming propaganda for many Malawians reluctance to receive the jab.“The batch which had expired (has) been withdrawn from our system and has been destroyed,” Health Minister Kumbize Kandodo said at the Kamuzu Central Hospital in the capital Lilongwe.
According to the BBC, it is the first African country to publicly burn thousands of COVID-19 vaccine doses.
