A Longer Pandemic?
September 9, 2021 /
The proliferation of Covid-19 variants in Africa could lead to vaccine-evading mutations that may derail global attempts to end the pandemic, a group of African and international organizations said. While developed nations are administering or planning to distribute booster shots, the “slow rollout of vaccines in most African countries creates an environment in which the virus can replicate and evolve,” the groups said. As a result, there’s a growing likelihood that new, more dangerous variants will emerge and spread around the globe. —David E. Rovella
