Attn: @Reuters & @fraguarascio, this headline misses the point! Rich countries are dumping almost-expired (i.e. useless) vaccines on poor countries and calling it charity.https://www.reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/more-than-100-million-covid-19-vaccines-rejected-by-poorer-nations-dec-unicef-2022-01-13/ …

It's not that simple. EU countries received doses with short self life too. COVAX was late in investing in cold-chain in poorer nations. Vaccine hesitancy too. Agree that help from rich nations has come late and not always appropriately.
Headline is worse than clickbait as 'they' won't open it to get to facts. Just spread it as misinfo online. And @WBG_Health data from July 2021 shows #COVID19 vaccine acceptance rate remains high @ 82% on average in Africa @africacdc @_AfricanUnion @daktari1

@Reuters has misleading headlines on on this subject. Example 7 Dec '21: "Up to 1 million COVID vaccines wasted in Nigeria last month" ... nothing about expiry in headline. It's damaging & false narrative needs to stop. Can you print correction on latest article? For all

Dear Karyn, we always correct wrong articles, but there is nothing wrong in what we published yesterday. The headline reports accurately what a top UNICEF official told a hearing in the EU Parliament. Millions of close-to-expiry doses have been rejected.
