The first doses of the Pfizer Covid-19 shots to be dispatched to Africa under the global Covax vaccine-sharing scheme are set to arrive in Rwanda, as efforts to inoculate the world’s poorest nations accelerate, Reuters reports.

The batch of 102,960 doses will soon arrive in Kigali, the health ministry said, hours after a flight carrying 240,000 doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine produced by the Serum Institute of India also landed.
