COVID-19 Vaccination Progress and Projections Across African Continents

The world's largest immunization programmer of COVID-19 is under ongoing leading to a decline in COVID-19 cases and fatalities amongst the population. There are concerns growing that the poorest nation may be missed out, to the very end of a long queue for the resources. This paper explains the current progress of COVID-19 vaccinations in each continent. Time series analysis is performed on the daily vaccination data taken from ‘Our World in Data’ for 209 countries. Neural network auto regression (NNAR) model is used for continent-wise projection of vaccination rate for the next 365 days that determines when all of the population in each continent will be immunized. Empirical evaluation helped us to understand the unequal access and distribution of vaccines in African countries.
