The move has been taken by South Africa as it put hold on the inoculation of AstraZeneca vaccine in the country, citing limited effectiveness against the South African strain of the virus.
The Guardian, however, reported that South Africa will not return the vaccine. Instead, the country will share the doses of the vaccine with other countries via the African Union.
This week, the World Health Organization (WHO) approved the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus jab for emergency use. The vaccine will be rolled out for global consumption, particularly to poorer countries, under the WHO’s program COVAX.
