• Medical Guild Decries Vaccine Nationalism By West After several months of waiting, Nigeria eventually began nationwide COVID-19 vaccination last week Friday, in Abuja. But despite the excitement that greeted the occasion, there are several concerns and unanswered questions over the vaccination. x Besides, accessing COVID-19 vaccines has become an issue, especially with Western countries trying to ‘own’ them.
