BREAKING! NAFDAC Approves Covid-19 Vaccine Rejected By South Africa For Nigeria

The vaccine was recently approved by the W.H.O for emergency use, in a press briefing, NAFDAC says it got the dossier of the vaccine a week ago, and the NAFDAC safety committee went to work immediately to evaluate its safety and efficacy for Nigerians.
The Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, also known as ChAdOx1 nCoV-19, or AZD1222, is a viral vector vaccine.

However, South Africa had stopped the usage of this vaccine because it wasn’t working effectively.
