Nigerian authorities have recently announced that they hope to vaccinate 40 per cent of the population by 2021.
Nigerian authorities have issued a warning against counterfeit coronavirus vaccines in the country where 10 million true doses of the pictures are expected to reach in March.
“There are reports of counterfeit vaccines in Nigeria,” Director General of the Nigerian National Agency for Drug Control and Food Administration (NAFDAC) Mojisola Adeyeye said on Friday.
NAFDAC urges the public to be careful. COVID vaccines have not been approved by NAFDAC. Fake vaccines can cause diseases such as COVID or other serious diseases that can kill. “
The expected Nigerian vaccines add 100,000 expected doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine although it has not been specified what type of injection would be used for the 10 million doses.
It was also unclear whether the badge would be funded by the African Union (AU) or as part of COVAX, which connects the World Health Organization (WHO) with private partners to work for joint provision and equitable circulation. .
Nigerian authorities have recently announced that they hope to vaccinate 40 per cent of the population by 2021.
But the challenges of transporting and storing vaccines for millions of people are huge in a country where hospital facilities are inadequate.
In April last year, black market coronavirus tests in Nigeria were successful because citizens were willing to be subject to compulsory quarantine.
The most populous country in Africa, with around 200 million people, Nigeria has officially reported some 104,000 COVID-19 cases, with 1,382 deaths.
But these numbers are believed to be falling short of the actual tax since the number of tests went low.
Things have skyrocketed since the end of November, especially in the economic capital of Lagos, a city of about 20 million people. The death rate has also gone up.
A variable strain of coronavirus was discovered a few months ago. It was found in two patient samples collected on August 3 and October 9 in Nigeria’s Osun state, according to a working research paper seen by the Associated Press news agency.
