Building Community Confidence in Vaccines
This discussion is intended to enlighten the audience on the importance of vaccines and the role they play in maintaining health across the world. In addition, Nigeria is looking to kickstart the local production of vaccines soon. This would provide an avenue for the Federal Government to share its plans and the actions that have been taken to achieve those plans. Having this information will enable Nigerians – private sector individuals and organizations – to identify areas where they can support the government and hold them accountable
