EU Keeps Its Promise, Supplies Mobile Vaccine Vans To Africa Before EU-Africa Summit In Brussels

The EU kept its promise a day before the EU-Africa summit has kicked-in in Brussels this week. Marking the starting off an ambitious infrastructure development project in various stages in Africa, EU promised to help Africa with the manufacturing of Corona virus vaccine.

Keeping its promise, the most powerful of all nations, Germany has already shipped mobile units to help Africa manufacture its own vaccine. The German company BioNTech together with Pfizer had developed the first mRNA vaccine against the coronavirus. It has now unveiled mobile vaccine production units housed in shipping containers on February 16, aimed at bringing manufacturing to Africa.

While South Africa has started its own manufacturing of the vaccine, rest of the continent is still depending on foreign players to meet its requirement. The 12 containers that make up the lab are split into two modules -- one for the production of mRNA and the other for the vaccine serum -- before local partners take over the filling of the vials. This process reduced the time gap of making vaccines if a manufacturing factory was erected to 12 months from 36 months.

BioNTech has its own apprehensions about being able to carriage a whole structure; even then the vaccine-maker aims to start establishing the "first manufacturing facility in the African Union" in "mid-2022", the group said in a statement.

The challenge to fit the whole structure into a container remains, but the plans to transport the so-called "BioNTainers" to Rwanda, Senegal, or both countries have been firmed up. In early February, the South African biotech company Biologics announced it had produced the continent's first coronavirus vaccine based on mRNA technology, using the publicly available genetic code used by BioNTech rival Moderna.

Africa is the lowest vaccinated numbers in the world against Covid-19.
