The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) said it had received reports of the importation of fake COVID-19 vaccine into Nigeria. NAFDAC is warning the public not to use them as fake vaccines can cause COVID-like illnesses or other serious diseases that could kill.
NAFDAC Director General, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, while addressing a virtual press conference on Friday, said the agency had neither received nor approved any COVID-19 vaccine from manufacturers for use in the country and warned against unauthorised orders. She said since the vaccines are new, the side effects must be well monitored by the agency, hence if the agency does not approve, Nigerians must not use them.
