Medical Experts Warns That Nigeria May Lose 100,000 Doses Of Covid-19 Vaccine Due To Lack Of Storage Facilities

Virologists and other medical experts have warned that 100,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccine the country is expecting may become useless, if proper arrangements are not made for their transportation and storage

The experts, including the Chief Executive Officer of the Institute of Human Virology, Nigeria, Dr. PATRICK DAKUM; a medical virologist, Dr.  OLADIPO KOLAWOLE,  and a professor of Virology at the University of Ibadan, DAVID OLALEYE,   in separate interviews advised government to ensure proper storage and transportation of the vaccine to achieve its desired result.

The Director-General of the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Prof BABATUNDE SALAKO, had earlier said there was no enough space to store the vaccine at the moment.

He also said another major challenge would be how to transport the vaccine at the temperature of -70 degree centigrade to rural areas.

According to him, in future Nigeria may need to buy other types of vaccines that do not require low temperature as Pfizer.
