Vaccine deserts: Some countries have no COVID-19 jabs at all

N'DJAMENA, Chad (AP) — At the small hospital where Dr. Oumaima Djarma works in Chad's capital, there are no debates over which coronavirus vaccine is the best.

There are simply no vaccines at all.

Not even for the doctors and nurses like her, who care for COVID-19 patients in Chad, one of the least-developed nations in the world where about one third of the country is engulfed by the Sahara desert.

“I find it unfair and unjust, and it is something that saddens me,” the 33-year-old infectious diseases doctor says. “I don’t even have that choice. The first vaccine that comes along that has authorization, I will take it.”

1. Thought the vaccine was going to be distributed worldwide, including poor countries. How did we end

up with enough for everyone here? America First is a cruddy concept.

2. There is the COVAX program, but it is way underfunded.

Additionally they were heavily counting on India to produce Novavax and AstraZeneca vaccines. Now that India is in crisis, that production is now tied up for domestic use.

3. Thanks. Hope something gets done to rectify this.

4. But Trump that the virus simply goes away in warmer weather.

5. Meanwhile, my youngest son (35 years old) and his mother (my second ex) who are

rabid former guy cultists refuse to get the vaccine. If you think this makes me angry, you'd
be right! And yes, I'm angry at the total mis-management of this pandemic and the response worldwide.
