Africa-Press – Tanzania. <\/strong><\/span>Tanzania is looking to set up its own vaccine manufacturing plant as part of its wider plan to tackle Covid and other diseases in the country.<\/p>\n

President Samia Suluhu Hassan said the country was also aiming to export vaccines to east and southern African countries, according to a statement from the state house.<\/p>\n

She said Tanzania was likely to spend nearly $100m (\u00a370m) by 2030 to import vaccines, hence the need to set up its own local capacity.<\/p>\n

The president, who was visiting the European Union Council President Charles Michel in Brussels, said she was submitting a proposal for support to make the project a success.<\/p>\n

The plan for a vaccine plant is a shift from the previous regime of her predecessor, John Magufuli, a prominent coronavirus sceptic, who died last year from heart complications.<\/p>\n

Since Magafuli\u2019s death in March, President Samia Suluhu Hassan has changed Tanzania\u2019s pandemic management, joining COVAX, in order to receive free doses.<\/p>\n
