12 Nov Nigerians will benefit from vaccine, says minister

Health Minister Osagie Ehanire has said anytime a potent vaccine is found or developed as a solution to the global COVID-19 pandemic, Nigerians will not be left out.

He spoke at a two-day multi-sectoral conference on the COVID-19, where he explained that there are arrangements by the Federal Ministry of Health to ensure that Nigerians get the vaccine immediately it comes out.

The minister, who was represented by the Minister of State, Dr. Olorunnimbe Mamora, said: “The Federal Ministry of Health, just last week, we signed a Memorandum of Understanding to ensure that when the vaccines, wherever they come from – that has been established to be effective for COVID-19 – we will not be left behind.”
