The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has approved two more COVID-19 vaccines for use in Nigeria.
“The Director-General of NAFDAC, Professor Moji Adeyeye, announced this on Thursday at a news conference in Abuja.
The new vaccines are Moderna and Sputnik COVID-19 vaccines.
“She explained that although the Sputnik vaccine has not yet been approved by the World Health Organisation, NAFDAC has carried out independent checks on the vaccine and found that the benefits outweigh the risks.”
Nigeria had earlier approved the AstraZeneca vaccine and the inoculation had since started.
