The National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control has said the results of test conducted on the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine will be ready in three to four days.
She however explained that the survey is no longer current as it was done early last year before the outbreak of COVID-19.“Actually, in terms of substandard and fake drugs, South-West has the highest prevalent rate. In terms of states, Lagos has the highest and we are working on that to reduce it,” she added.
She attributed the inability of NAFDAC to conduct fresh survey on substandard drugs to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic which disrupted activities and programmes in all sectors of the economy.
