South Africa will no longer send J&J vaccines to Europe, AU envoy says
CNN
An arrangement in which Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines were being shipped from South Africa to Europe has been suspended, African Union (AU) Special Envoy for Covid-19 response, Strive Masiyiwa, has said.
The arrangement was reversed in part due to interventions from South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, and French President Emmanuel Macron, Masiyiwa said in a Thursday press briefing. Masiyiwa said Europe's von der Leyen also committed to sending the J&J vaccines, which were packaged by J&J's South African partner company Aspen, back to African nations.More Related News
