COVID-19: Nigerian govt reacts as ‘one million’ vaccine doses expire
According to WHO, only about four per cent of Nigeria’s estimated 206 million population have been fully vaccinated. A spokesperson for the National Primary Health Care Development Agency - the body responsible for vaccinations in Nigeria- told Reuters, the number of vaccines received and used is still being tallied and it would share its findings in the coming days.
“This dilemma is not typical to Nigeria, but a situation in which many low- and medium-income countries find themselves,” he said, adding that donation of surplus COVID-19 vaccines with expiring shelf lives to developing countries has been a matter of “international discussion”. Meanwhile, the minister said the ministry had communicated the challenge of short shelf lives and “some manufacturers offered to extend the vaccine shelf life by three months, a practice that, though accepted by experts, is declined by the Federal Ministry of Health, because it is not accommodated in Nigeria’s standards.”
Berating the country, Mr Tella said Nigeria “does not take itself seriously considering the enormous resources at its disposal.”
This underlined the gross incompetency, irresponsiblility and rascality of the genocidal MBuhari regime. Only less than 3% of Nigerians have vaccinated & this useless Buhari regime just make Nigeria lose one million vaccine doses. ElbinawiTweets
