The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC) has approved the use of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine for Nigerians.

This will also be part of an emergency use authorization for citizens.

The Director-General of the agency, Mojisola Adeyeye made this known on Thursday during a virtual meeting.

This approval comes a few months after NAFDAC gave a nod for the use of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine in Nigeria.
