It is however unclear whether the vaccine was manufactured locally or they came from abroad.
Meanwhile, the World Health Organization (WHO) has said that though a covid-19 vaccine would play a crucial role in the fight against the pandemic, it was necessary for the product to undergo close monitoring before general use.
“As new COVID-19 vaccines and treatments become available, health-care professionals and patients will need to be actively engaged in monitoring the effects of these novel products and reporting any potential adverse reaction.
“By analyzing reported reactions, national medicines authorities can take the necessary measures for safer use of the drugs, scientists can assess the data and, if needed, international networks can be activated to address the problem,” WHO stated in a report published on its website.
