Okay, yes its possible. We should consume what we produce, just because it came from India or Europe, does not mean we should just take things. Its better to wait and observe the effects of the vaccine at least on a long term, about 1 year. Now that they are dumping AstraZeneca, taking the jab could for nothing, and those who took it, may have to take another jab, assuming, the south South African variant is already in Nigeria, they could wake up another morning, and realize the South African variant was in Nigeria for a very long time. Things are still very unsteady. ![]() Puloc: |

I don't buy all these "sell to the countries without the South Africa variant" logic. As long as the vaccine you took does not cover all variants, you would always be at risk. Get Pfizer's vaccine in Nigeria and be done with it. |

Nawa oh, which Kain laziness to read dey worry Nigerians? Even if you've not been following the vaccine development, the article OP was informational enough to educate everyone who actually reads it. As at the time of developing this Astrazeneca Vaccine, the team studied the originally existing and most dominant strain of the virus. However, since then, there has been a couple of very contagious and stubborn variations of the original which originated from China. I think there's a British, South African, and a Brazil strain of Corona Virus. Generally, all the vaccines are less effective against these new Variants, especially the Astrazeneca Vaccine. And that should be understandable. The European Union are ready to go to war with Astrazeneca because there's a shortage of the vaccine considering their agreement. That alone should tell you a lot. |

The US president and their leadership took Pfizer's vaccine. Common sense should tell you that it is the most effective. |

SeriouslySense:Bro it's d idea though. Foolish NAFDAC said since d vaccine is produced in Europe and certified by WHO that the wouldn't carry out their own test too which is really a bad idea. The don't know human conditions or population conditions are not the same. for a drug produced for Asians or Europeans will have a different bearing on africans especially with the climate, food and other conditions associated with populations. instead the open their arms to whatever foreign countries give out thinking all is good for them...Now we have lots of countries in Europe too especially central Europe and Scandinavian countries rejecting astrazeneca cos of lots of side effects. Remember when Madagascar came with this herbal formula then as a cure for Covid-19 and the Europeans through the WHO rejected d drugs and quickly denounced it...Who knows if it would have worked or if it did? and now u want to take wateva the give u. I remember when many countries were mobilizing to produce their own vaccines so they can be sure if wat there are giving their populations. The Americans have produced Pfizer for themselves, the Chinese have produced sinopharm too, the Russians have produced Sputnik V and about 3 other working vaccines for themselves too already. Nobody jokes with this sort of issues as a wrong jab or a biological warfare is jus as potent as nuclear warfare against a whole population without a blast waves and smokes... Nigeria as a country were busy monetizing the pandemic through it's medical associations and govt parastatals...I only pray the jab doesn't have any effect on the local population. |

South africa will always be ahead of Nigeria in development, they got their vaccines from America, Nigeria are buying from China. |

Drabeey:This isn't purely about the safety question of Astrazenica. The vaccine has long been declared ineffective against south Africa variant. But it seem other vaccine aren't adequately effective too but the media noise around Astrazenica probably prompted them to drop in on the order of priority |

| Re: South Africa Sells Off Astrazeneca COVID Vaccine, Places Fresh Order From Pfizer by witworth(m): 1:23pm On Mar 22, 2021 |
alfredilly:Nigeria have vaccines from china, I never mentioned Astrazenica in anyway, it's just the position of your mentality that pushed you to that direction. |

yemmywesey:See how you just distort fact. Oxford-Astrazenica is British and the fuse around it was apparently created by the European Union. On the day European medical agency declared the vaccine effective for people of all age group, French president Emmanuel Macron announced there is no substantial evidence to show that it is effective for people age 65 and above. |

witworth:You are being foolhardy here. It is a common knowledge that Nigeria ordered Astrazenica. What does that infer? |
| Re: South Africa Sells Off Astrazeneca COVID Vaccine, Places Fresh Order From Pfizer by Philadelphia: 1:29pm On Mar 22, 2021 |
Nigeria is definitely buying that from them as used or toks. E no get anything wey we no Dey buy na. Nigerians go to the point of buying used underwears including panties. |

Puloc:Instead of falling for conspiracy, read these, it will help .EU is growing increasingly britosceptic and nothing signifies this than the hasty rush to inspire negative headline about Astrazenica vaccine. On this account, the earlier UK sees their ex union as rival than a partners, the better. The British made Astrazenica covid vaccine has been a subject of the most vitriolic media campaign despite preponderance of evidence on its efficacy. Even regulatory bodies such as WHO has certified this vaccine as safe and, in the midst of recent side effect controversy of miscroscopic proportion, have maintained there is no substantial evidence or professional verdict for indictment. European medical association has also consistently given similar submission yet Eu countries and their politician are creating unsubstantiated panic with the news of role out suspension. 17 million recipient of Astrazenica jab, yet 32 cases of blood clot recorded, in circumstances that may be traceable to other factors. On no account should such number be considered a risk. Yet, European countries starting with Sweden, Denmark, Norway have announced a temporary suspension of their role out, while the big one, after initial reluctance have follow suit, leaving UK as the only major user. This, I believe is a scare mongering overreaction aimed at distorting public perception, thereby discouraging vaccine acceptance where Astrazenica is concerned. One would make sense of this conspiracy by asking why PfizerBiontech or Moderna hasn't generated such media fuse despite their limitation. First, it was the South African variant that left the media screaming about Astrazenica potency, but has anyone care to know if Pfizer and Modern has been found efficient in that territory? In fact, they hadn't submitted to south African trial and when they did, there were no substantial disparity from what was obtained with the former, but did media went into frenzy? No. Then, on the day European Medicine Agency (EMA) approved Oxford-Astrazenica for use by people of all ages, France Emmanuel Macron announced that the vaccine won't work for people age 65 and above, a fact opposed by UK governments and Britain Medical Agency. I have followed painstakingly, the developing stories around covid vaccine production and it's sale, and what come out glaringly is an unhealthy competition. PfizerBiontech has American and German arms therefore likely immune to European Union conspiracy while Moderna is purely American. Eu can't contend with the share size of American market, so UK come handy as a subject of bully. Beside, they have just splitted with the custom union and a likely attempt to make a scapegoat of them as a deterrent to other intending separatist has been suspected. Meanwhile, all this politicization are unnecessarily in a time of global health crisis where Vaccine acceptance from populace is a major issue in many countries. All this goes to show that the world can never be a better place when human needs and welfare are driven by the greeds of economics profiteers. |

alfredilly:it was your common knowledge, the same problem many slaves like you get from your government, when have they been honest with their citizens? Tell me. It's your category that believes them, not me. The Nigeria government does not bypass chinese government. They have vaccines from china that you don't know. And I can't prove it to you because you're already programmed for their default settings. |
