Has Tanzania really dodged the pandemic?

This week, their health minister announced it had no plans to roll out Covid vaccines.

This hardly came as a surprise: just a few days before, President Magufuli had suggested coronavirus vaccines could harm people.

No evidence was ever provided to back such claims, and yet they really worried health officials across the continent.

Critics have accused the president of playing down the threat posed by the virus - but do they have a point?
