Burundi has rolled out its first Covid-19 vaccines, months after most African countries, the latest step in the East African nation's shift towards a more active approach to containing the pandemic, reports Reuters.
The vaccination campaign started in the commercial capital of Bujumbura without fanfare. Dozens of city residents queued quietly at a vaccination site, telling Reuters they heard about the drive through word of mouth.
No government officials were present to officially inaugurate the launch.
