Director-General of National Agency for Food and Drug Administration (NAFDAC), Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, has warned Nigerians against the circulation of fake COVID-19 Vaccines in the country.
The NAFDAC boss, in statement by the Agency’s Resident Media Consultant, Sayo Akintola, said;
“Nigerians should refrain from procuring the vaccine online to avoid falling into the wrong hands of merchants of death.”
“The public must be on the lookout for these spurious and counterfeit vaccines and other regulated products.”
“Nigerians should be vigilant and expose anyone who might want to divert COVID-19 vaccines donated by international donors for profiteering.”
It is interesting to know that on March 2, 2021 Nigeria received 3.92 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccines and has since launched the vaccination programme in the country.
