AstraZeneca fear: Vaccination suffers setback, five more countries halt exercise

The Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 says Nigeria has suffered a major setback in the campaign to make citizens and residents take the oxford Astra Zeneca vaccines

The PTF also decried some prominent Nigerians who had been using the cases of side effects, especially in Europe, to discourage their followers from accepting the vaccine.

The national coordinator of the PTF, Dr Sani Aliyu, who was represented by the national incident manager, Dr Muktar Muhammad, made this known at the press conference of the task force on Monday.

Muhammad stated this as five more countries halted the administration of the vaccine because of the fear of the possible deadly side effects.
