Africa: Covid-19 Africa Travel Ban Slammed by AU Expert, Renews Call for #VaccineEquity

[allAfrica] Dr. Ayoade Olatunbosun-Alakija, an African Union vaccine expert, has slammed a decision by Western governments to ban African travelers following the emergence of the Omicron Covid-19 variant. In a televised interview on BBC, Olatunbosun-Alakija said that the restrictions were objectionable. "Quite frankly, it is unacceptable, these travel bans are based on politics and not in science, it is wrong," she said.
