[BREAKING NEWS] NCDC Disclose Why Nigeria may not get Coronavirus Vaccine when it is Available

The Director-General of the Nigeria Center for Disease Control (NCDC), Dr. Chikwe Ihekweazu, has conceded the nation might not approach the COVID-19 antibody in the event that it opens up.

Ihekweazu, talking at the day by day instructions of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 on Thursday, clarified that "the market for finding is remained so that entrance is a major issue for us down here."

The NCDC manager additionally clarified that Nigeria must work with the worldwide wellbeing network so as to get to.

Ihekweazu said:-

“You know the end of this outbreak will come when we get a vaccine, but getting a vaccine doesn’t mean inevitably that we will have access to it.

“We have had a vaccine to human papillomavirus for the last 10 years. But because this vaccine costs about $50 per shot, we don’t have access to it in Nigeria.

“Why don’t we have access? Because the market for diagnosis is stood in such a way that access is a big problem for us down here.

“We must fight to have more access to therapeutics, to medical countermeasures and to everything we need to fight this disease way into the future.”
