NAFDAC Director-General, Prof. Moji Adeyeye, disclosed this Thursday while briefing newsmen in Abuja.
She said the NAFDAC Vaccine Committee had been carefully assessing several vaccines despite the fact the vaccines have been approved by stringent regulatory countries or have received WHO’s Emergency Use Listing (EUL).
She said a COVID-19 vaccine that had gone through the prior approval from either of these two sources had gone through quality, safety and efficacy evaluation which is a prerequisite for acceptance by COVAX Facility.
She added that most regulatory agencies across the world used this mechanism to expedite their own regulatory approval to import and administer COVID-19 vaccines.
