Meanwhile, Legit.ng had reported that two Australian women, one dead, the other still recovering from a strange ailment are the latest cases of the after-effects of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Following these rather disturbing developments, Australian health authorities on Sunday, March 7, suspended the inoculation of citizens.
The nation's federal office for safety in healthcare in a statement revealed that both women, who are actually nurses, took the same batch of the vaccine in one clinic.
Legit.ng had also reported that the presidency had said that President Muhammadu Buhari on Saturday, March 6, led by example by being the first to take the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Lauretta Onochie, a presidential media aide, in her tweet said Nigerians should join her principal and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo to kick out the pandemic by getting vaccinated also.
