Just In: FG approves use of groundbreaking Oxford malaria vaccine


The federal government has granted provisional approval for the R21/Matrix developed by scientists at Oxford University.

Mojisola Adeyeye, director-general of the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration And Control (NAFDAC), made the announcement at a press briefing on Monday.

The development comes days after Ghana became the first country to approve the vaccine — which is said to be 80 percent effective.
