The Nigerian Medical Association (NMA) has called for the promotion and revamping of the country’s local production of vaccines, noting that Nigeria cannot continue to depend on other countries for vaccines needed to protect its people.
It therefore appealed to the Federal Government to spare no efforts at ensuring the success of the renewed initiative with the inauguration of the Biovaccines Nigeria Ltd, a joint venture between the FG and May & Baker Nigeria Plc.
The President of the NMA, Prof Innocent Ujah, made these known yesterday in Abuja during a press briefing.
