The authorities decided to abandon the drug due to its ineffectiveness against a local mutation of the coronavirus.

The Republic of South Africa has sold a million doses of AstraZeneca COVID vaccine to the African Union. About it informs Reuters on Sunday, March 21.

The South African drug will now be shipped to nine other African countries.

Note that vaccine trials in South Africa showed that AstraZeneca provides weak protection against the coronavirus mutation, which has begun to spread in the country.

Previously, scientists found that antibodies to the African strain of COVID protect against other mutations… Antibodies generated by the South African coronavirus have broader protection than antibodies against other strains.
