A roadmap for countries to plan for COVID-19 vaccine introduction covers 10 key areas:
1- planning and coordination,
2- resources and funding,
3- vaccine regulations,
4- service delivery,
5- training and supervision,
6- monitoring and evaluation,
7- vaccine logistics,
8- vaccine safety and
9- surveillance and communications
10- community engagement.
The key question now is not "is the vaccine coming?" but "is Africa ready to roll out the vaccine"? It appears we are not.
