It’s more than a year since the first vaccine was administered and since then more than 10 billion doses have been given out around the world. But across Africa, only 11% of people have been vaccinated against Covid-19. In some countries – Mauritius, Morocco and Rwanda for example – that number is much higher. And Seychelles was leading the world in vaccinations at one point. But in other countries, the number is even lower. While some of this may be due to the availability of vaccines, it isn’t the only cause. Some people are reluctant to take the vaccine, even when they get the chance. So, what can be done to get the vaccination rate up? Do we need to talk about vaccine hesitancy?
