The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has approved the use of the AstraZeneca vaccine which arrived in Nigeria on Tuesday.
The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) confirmed this on its Twitter handle, @NphcdaNG, on Friday.
The tweet read, “After undergoing final assessment by NAFDAC, we have confirmation that they have concluded their final checks with positive results.
“Nigeria can now go ahead and use the 3.924m doses of AstraZeneca vaccines.#YesToCOVID19Vaccine.”
Recall that when Nigeria took delivery of the vaccine on Tuesday, samples were handed over to NAFDAC for safety review.
