Description
Nigeria imports nearly all its vaccines, and the COVID-19 years showed how risky that dependence can be. Obi Peter Adigwe and co-authors asked vaccine chain insiders what blocks local making, in a 2025 study. Stakeholders across the chain were picked on purpose and spoke in guided interviews. Themes were drawn from the talks with checks for trust in the process.
Eight themes of trouble emerged from the analysis. Supply gaps, uneven spread, public doubt, and weak local capacity all sit behind the import habit, as the background sets out. Lessons from the pandemic years frame which fixes matter most. Ethics approval came before any talks began. The authors aim to give policy makers a ground-level map of the problem.
