Macron: Africa to Favour Russian, Chinese Vaccines if EU and US Stall Supply of Doses to Continent

MOSCOW (Sputnik) – If the European Union and the United States fail to provide COVID-19 vaccines to African countries they will purchase them directly from Russia and China, French President Emmanuel Macron said on Friday.

Earlier in the day, the Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF) said that Russia might start delivering its coronavirus vaccine Sputnik V to the African Union in May, with the bulk of supplies set to start in June.

According to the World Health Organisation, there are 2,760,712 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Africa as well as 69,489 deaths.
