The Federal Government of Nigeria, says it will not accept COVID-19, vaccines from unverified and private sources.
Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire said this during a press briefing on Monday.
Ehanire said despite the scarcity of vaccines worldwide, the government will not be forced to acquire unapproved vaccines.
“…due to warnings by international police organisations of the high rate of fake COVID – 19 vaccines in circulation, and reports of risks of adverse events reported after vaccination, Nigeria will not accept vaccines from private and unverified sources,” he said.
He advised residents to take the jab from government designated hospitals, and continue to maintain all COVID-19 protocols.
