ah. hello, i'm terry martin. good to have you with us. the world health organization warned that the global vaccine distribution program to help poorer countries is failing. only 8w8xw doses have so far been delivered through the co backs program. the w h o says the shortfall, least half of all recipients states unable to sustain their vaccination program. the warning comes as africa experiences. the 3rd wave of the pandemic with new infections. they are increasing by 20 percent weak on weak congo namibia. and uganda are especially hard hit with each country seeing its highest rate of new infections. since the pandemic began, south africa is also suffering from a rapid rise in case number's a 3rd wave there is adding to the over $1700000.00 firm cases of the virus in that

country. that's the highest figure, anywhere on the continent. this is prompted south african president, seal reb, opposed to call on developed nations to end vaccine hoarding. the w a to increase is there and brings us this report on an alarming situation. the message shouldn't be new to anyone. one into half years into adobe pandemic wash, your hands maintain social distance where mosque. but the disaster management officers in cape town. they have observed that more and more people and not sticking to the rule, i pleaded in the really to consider the loved ones, even though they may be resistant to comply with total. but they must think of the family members they love want to know because how they feel like divided the day to comply with the people i don't and potentially losing love to. i'm not wearing map

in public as a criminal offense in south africa. yet many people don't, but mostly this last year. everything is for each people, you know what i mean because they have so a lot of money. they don't want to die. bullet eating us. it is tiring. it is, especially for those who goes to school. like kids now they must go 2 days a week. like it's all it's frustrating man. it's frustrating for a lot of people close to me die because i've already joined the 2nd wave. so i'm, what are you doing this ted leaf so far, the province of how ting around south africa, economic have you had this book has been hits particularly hard making up for more than 60 percent. you infection? scientists expect picked a lockdown rule soon, but will the 3rd way fits the entire country harder than the 2nd? no, we don't expect to in the, the areas at listing the close to provinces of south africa would be worse than the

2nd wave. why that is because the 2nd wave was very severe in the course though, at regions of south africa. and we also know from the science that we have done that people that got infected with the parents had released a very high level antibodies. so we expect to see a kind of population immunity around the course. we'll take a look at that. i can tell the management team encouraging the elderly to sign up what you recall. but the problem is, they're still not enough vaccines available, south africa order the vaccines for 75 percent of its population, but only about 3 percent. we're not sure later so far, mainly due to global supply shortages. the latest set back about 2000000 johnson and johnson, those that already arrived in the country cannot be used because they were possibly

contaminated during the production process. in the u. s. a. at the current pace. the vaccination campaign here won't make a big difference during this 3rd wife. baltimore, let's speak to young boom. he's an epidemiologist and the africa representative for epicenter the research arm of doctors without borders in yoni camera. and thanks for being with us. professor boom, the vaccine shortage is a problem for the whole african continent. 98 percent of people that remain unvaccinated. the w h o estimates that 225000000 doses are still needed is the continent at risk of being left behind the continents are really being left behind. you now in the 6 months, think western country have you seen the vaccine and now i've tried is for getting to have some for some of the country. so it is true that all the

country african countries don't read the same challenges, but you, us shouldn't africa. yeah. really. it's a challenge if you don't have that. i've seen why it has been valuable globally yesterday. the w h o announced plans for setting up a vaccine production hub in south africa. how significant is this? how fast can i help? quite the pandemic on the continent. i think the purpose of all each or even a victim to have the facts can be produced in the country. but for the term wave for these carrying our bread. going not a bit late, actually, what we need now is to have those available, even, even those 1 may be late for country like africa, media or whatever and keeping the heard because ways, but already something good for the upcoming ways. and also for the other diseases, remember that we are going to produce those by not. but my also be important for

all the disease for which you 40 by african. ok. now we've seen the more transmissible delta variant of the corona virus ravaging through india. and now rapidly spreading around the world, how worried are you about the impact it will have on the african continent? i think we are quite concerned because you see the country that are no quite the close for the test which is like, you know, bus you're done. now, you know, media can, you can see that how people, lots of problems coming from, which mean that's more exposed of having the bargain and look at the population because you like the gun. the way we have actually put our research on fund bike because of the increased number of keys, you will have a large part of the population who are hobby or b c. i pressed insurance diabetes. so we are main concern of the high number of

people who may die and seeing some of the future, the so called morbidity is playing a role there. and you say africa is already been left behind. the pandemic of forces, by definition, a global problem. if we fail to tackle the pandemic properly in africa, what implications could best have for the rest of the world? you know, we are all inter if we don't stop there and then we could after will be rolling some new value in the entire western population. that's already seeing the pfizer, the more then i and all of our team i some point lord byron with combo and me and seen. so we are all together. maybe we are literally relating to the printer and he's africa off of the trying to me. there is no one will be able to grade. nobody's say everyone say professor yeah, boom,
