NAIROBI, Sept 3 (Reuters) - All countries should join hands
in a global effort to procure and distribute potential vaccines
against the coronavirus across the globe, the head of the Africa
Centres for Disease Control and Prevention said on Thursday.
"We are in this together. No country will be safe if any
other country in the world still has cases of COVID," John
Nkengasong, the head of the Addis Ababa-based continental body,
told an online news conference.
He was reacting to reports of a decision by the United
States to shun the global initiative due to the involvement of
the World Health Organisation.
