The Nigerian Government said it has released the sum of N10billion to support domestic vaccine production in the country, Njenje Media News reports.
The Minister of Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire while on Monday at the briefing by the Presidential Task Force (PTF), said the Federal Government is working to develop the country’s own vaccines.
The minister said the government is exploring the option of local production of the vaccines in the country and have had discussions with a producer.
He, however, noted that while the nation seeks to get its own vaccines, other options are being explored for licensed production in collaboration with recognized institutions.
