Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

Nigeria has received the first batch of 846,000 doses of the R21 malaria vaccines, from Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

The official launch of the vaccines on Thursday was attended by officials of the Ministry of Health, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), and development partners.

Minister of Health, Ali Pate, described the arrival of the vaccines as a significant milestone in the government’s efforts to eliminate malaria in the country.

He said the vaccines would first be distributed to states with the highest burden of the disease, particularly Kebbi and Bayelsa States and would serve as a complement to other treatments for malaria.

Pate also cleared the air on concerns about the efficacy of the vaccine, stating that it has proven to be safe and efficient for malaria treatment.

Aina said about 140,000 doses are expected in the coming months as the target is to make available one million vaccines for the first batch.

The R21 malaria vaccine, which would be administered in two doses per vial, was produced by the Serum Institute of India.(vitalnewsngr.com)
