\"NAFDAC<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) on Friday raised the alarm that fake COVID-19 vaccines are already in circulation in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Director General of NAFDAC, Professor Mojisola Adeyeye raised the alarm on Friday at a virtual press briefing in Abuja, warning Nigerians against purchasing them as they can lead to death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adeyeye, who also disclosed that her agency has not approved any COVID-19 vaccine for use in the country, called on government establishments, agencies and big corporations not to order COVID-19 vaccines<\/a> without confirming from NAFDAC if the vaccine has been approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said: \u201cThe National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has not received any application from Covid Vaccine manufacturers yet and therefore no vaccines have been approved by NAFDAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCovid-19 vaccines are new, and the side effects or adverse events must be well monitored, therefore, if NAFDAC does not approve, the public should not use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere are reports of fake vaccines in Nigeria. NAFDAC is pleading with the public to beware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo Covid Vaccines have been approved by NAFDAC. Fake vaccines can cause Covid-like illnesses or other serious diseases that could kill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVaccines should not be ordered by any company or corporation. The companies that manufacture the vaccines if they are genuine companies know they have to submit their application to NAFDAC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo government establishment or agencies should order Covid vaccines without confirming from NAFDAC if the vaccine has been approved.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
