The Federal government has undertaken a comprehensive review and validation of the National Plan for Vaccine Research & Development and Manufacturing in Nigeria.
The move aligned with the Four Point Agenda health sector objectives of the Renewed Hope Agenda of the President Bola Tinubu-led administration, aiming to bolster local manufacturing and eliminate dependency on imported vaccines.
At a review and validation meeting organized by the National Institute for Pharmaceutical Research and Development in Abuja, the Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare, Doctor Tunji Alausa, expressed optimism about the tangible outcomes of the Government’s efforts in local vaccine production.
He said the efforts over the years to commence local vaccines production were already yielding the expected results.
