“The delivery of the vaccines to the states is predicated on satisfactorily meeting the conditions to keep them safe and potent.

“We’re designating vaccine accountability officers in the states and local government areas to closely monitor the management and utilization of the vaccines.

“These VAOs will also ensure retrieval of vaccine vials for proper disposal,” Shuaib said.
