A Kenyan woman receives a dose of AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine donated by Britain, as her son watches, at the Makongeni Estate in Nairobi, Kenya Saturday, August 14, 2021. In late June, the international system for sharing coronavirus vaccines sent about 530,000 doses to Britain – more than double the amount sent that month to the entire continent of Africa. It was the latest example of how a system that was supposed to guarantee low and middle-income countries vaccines is failing, leaving them at the mercy of haphazard donations from rich countries.
