The World Health Organization (WHO) has been trying to persuade Moderna and Pfizer-BioNTech to join forces with its plan for an African tech transfer hub.
A few months ago, Pfizer and its partner BioNTech struck a deal for South Africa’s Biovac to help make around 100 million doses a year of their COVID-19 vaccine for Africa.
BioNTech said in the middle of this year that it was planning to build malaria and tuberculosis vaccine production sites using mRNA technology in Rwanda and Senegal.
Moderna also recently announced plans to invest up to $500 million to build a factory in Africa. The factory will be making up to 500 million doses of mRNA vaccines each year.

Although lots of countries in Africa have expressed an interest in vaccine manufacturing, the country and location of the factory have not been decided by Moderna.
According to experts, the potential candidates to host Moderna’s African plant are South Africa, Rwanda, and Senegal.
