As of July 4, 2022, Africa had administered around 41 doses of coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines per 100 people. The vaccination rate in the continent was far slower than the world average, measured at 154 vaccines per 100 individuals on the same date. The vaccination in Africa has also been marked by a striking divide between countries. Africa started receiving vaccine supplies under the WHO-backed Covax facility in February 2021. Some African countries purchased additional doses, while others benefited from bilateral donations.
