Health authorities in Malawi are expected to destroy more than 19,000 doses of the AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccines later on Wednesday.They say the vaccines have expired and there is no sufficient data to know if they are safe for use, following guidance from the World Health Organization.The authorities say the move seeks to give confidence to Malawians to get the jab when available.Officials fear that using vaccines past their expiry date will further reduce public trust.
