Several other countries, including South Sudan and Malawi, are due to receive doses in the coming days.
<\/div><\/div>MTN<\/a> is donating $25 million to support the African Union's vaccination programme. The doses will be distributed to health workers across the bloc's 55 member states, MTN said this week.
