Rwanda’s President Paul Kagame has faulted the “hypocrisy and double standards” in the global distribution of Covid-19 vaccines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

President Kagame made the comments in a tweet after the World Health Organization (WHO) director, Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said deals between rich nations and vaccine manufacturers had made it hard to acquire vaccines for its Covax initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Covax is an initiative to ensure equitable distribution of the Covid-19 vaccine across all countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wealthy nations have been accused of hoarding vaccines making it hard for poor ones to access any.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
