The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control on Sunday drew the attention of Nigerians to the circulation of fake COVID – 19 vaccines in the country.
The agency also warned Nigerians to “refrain from procuring the vaccine online to avoid falling into the wrong hands of merchants of death.”
The Director-General of NAFDAC, Prof Mojisola Adeyeye, issued the warning in a statement by its Resident Media Consultant, Sayo Akintola.
She said, “The public must be on the lookout for these spurious and counterfeit vaccines and other regulated products”, she warned.
Meanwhile, at least 5,000 health personnel in the Federal Capital Territory will receive jabs of the COVID-19 vaccines on Monday (today) and Tuesday, according to PUNCH.
The frontline workers would be given the jabs at the Asokoro District Hospital, Abuja, where the vaccination would be inaugurated by the FCT Minister, Mohammed Bello.
