Case study: Vaccinating Africa - Solving logistical challenges of COVID-19 vaccine distribution
By World Courier
Last minute shipments across Africa
Early March 2021, while 1.27% of the world population had received at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the rollout was only just starting in Africa.
But when the
South African government decided not to use one million doses they had ordered,
as they were concerned that the vaccine was not effective against a certain
strain of the virus, World Courier was tasked with redistributing the doses to
14 African countries.
Time was of
the essence, as they were due to expire in just six weeks, so quick thinking, planning,
and distribution were necessary.
