Virologists have advised the Federal Government against the procurement of COVID-19 vaccine at the moment, saying it is unnecessary to introduce it now to Nigerians.

A virologist at the Nigerian Institute of Medical Research, Prof. Rosemary Audu, in an interview said there would be no need for vaccine if 70 per cent of the population in the country had developed antibodies against the virus: “If we have up to 70 per cent of the population who have developed antibodies towards the virus, then we would say we’ve had herd immunity and may not necessarily need the vaccine. That is something that I’m sure within the next few months we should be able to tell.”

The Director, Human and Zoonotic Virology, College of Medicine, University of Lagos, Prof. Sunday Omilabu, in an interview said it would be “dangerous” to introduce COVID-19 vaccine to Nigerians at the moment.
