Covid: Charlize Theron wants fairer distribution of vaccineson October 26, 2021 at 11:32 pm

The actress tells the BBC nations must start sharing jabs to help reach the WHO’s vaccination goals.

Charlize Theron says countries have to start sharing vaccines if we are to reach the World Health Organization’s goal of vaccinating 70% of the planet next year.

The actress, who has joined the social justice organisation Ford Foundation, wants the World Trade Organization to agree a waiver on vaccine patents – so countries can manufacture their own jabs.

Speaking to the BBC’s Pumza Fihlani, Theron also questioned some countries’ booster programmes, when only 5% of Africa’s population has been vaccinated.
