“We are in the process of finalizing our commercial relationship with Russia to bring in the Sputnik V vaccine very soon,” he said, adding that Senegal also aimed to get more vaccines from an African Union vaccines programme.

So far only five African countries have okayed the use of Sputnik V, they are Algeria, Tunisia, Gabon, the Republic of Guinea and more recently, Ghana.

Senegal aims to inoculate about 90% of a targeted 3.5 million people, including health workers and high-risk individuals between the ages of 19 and 60, by the end of 2021. The country’s population is about 16 million.

The country is also eligible to get 3.4 million doses for just under $23 million under an African Union plan.
