The National Agency for Food, Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has approved the use of two more COVID-19 vaccines in Nigeria.
Naija News reports that the two vaccines approved are Moderna and the Sputnik vaccines.
NAFDAC approved both vaccines for emergency use in Nigeria to tackle COVID-19.
The Director-General of NAFDAC, Professor Moji Adeyeye, announced this on Thursday at a news conference in Abuja.
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.
