Portugal to send some COVID-19 vaccines to former African colonies

Portugal will contribute five per cent of COVID-19 vaccines to its former African colonies.

“Supporting international vaccination is essential for the eradication of the COVID-19 pandemic,” Portuguese Prime Minister Antonio Costa said during an online event. “No country in the world will be safe until everyone is safe.”

The World Health Organization vaccine sharing scheme, COVAX, delivered its first COVID-19 shots to Ghana.
