Description
Oghenebrume Wariri and co-authors model in 2023 how COVID-19 vaccination rolled out across fifty-two African countries. The World Health Organization had aimed for seventy percent global coverage by mid 2022. The team fit a Bayesian compartment model to the first nine months of each country's daily records and projected coverage to the end of 2022.
Only nine countries were on track to reach the target band, with projected coverage from seventy-two to ninety-seven percent. Half the countries landed within ten points of their projections. The study also computes the speed each laggard would have needed, and draws lessons for the next pandemic.
