And according to Senegal President Macky Sall, 10% of the vaccine would be given out to The Gambia and Guinea Bissau.

Speaking by video conference at the 20th edition of the International Economic Forum on Africa, President Sall said: “We have decided to make 10% of this vaccine available to two neighboring countries, or 20,000 doses for the Gambia and Guinea Bissau as a form of African solidarity.”
