Burundi is preparing to accept its first COVID-19 vaccines after becoming one of the last countries in the world to embrace them. Health Minister Thaddee Ndikumana announced the government reversal last week and said vaccines will arrive with the support of the World Bank.
It was not immediately clear how many doses the East African country would receive or when. He has said the government will store the incoming vaccine doses but will not take responsibility for any side effects.
Burundi continues to carry out mass screenings for the virus, with Ndikumana saying he expected to control the latest uptick in infections by mid-August.
