 The Nigerian Medical Association, NMA, has called on the federal government to renew its drive towards reviving the federal vaccine centre Yaba as the centre is capable of reducing the country's over-dependence on vaccines from other countries. The national president of the NMA, Professor Inosent Uja, while addressing newsmen in Abuja, commanded government efforts in addressing unpaid hazard allowances of health workers and appealed for expedient action against paining issues, as failure might lead to disruption of services in the public health sector. Uja also says the worsening security situation in the country has affected the activities of health workers and called on the government to quickly address the situation. I think cognizance of the fact that Nigeria had demonstrated capacity in vaccine production against yellow fever in the past through the federal vaccine production laboratory Yaba but stopped in 1991 for several reasons, strongly appealed to the federal government to spare no efforts at ensuring the success of the renewed initiative with the inauguration of the Bav vaccine in Nigeria Limited, a joint venture between the federal government of Nigeria and Mayor Mbeka, Nigeria Limited. The Nigeria Medical Association will be very pleased if the initiative sees the light of the day so as to reduce the over-dependence on other countries and achieve some efficiency in vaccine production.
