March 28, 2001 " Court Grants Victims of Trovanfloxacin Vaccine Leave to Sue Pfizer " Africa News Service (www.africanews.org) (03/27/01) In Nigeria, Justice Nwaogwugwu has decreed that the parents of patients a 1996 trial of Pfizer's trovanfloxacin vaccine may sue the drugmaker for giving the drug without their consent. Of 200 children with meningitis involved in the trial in Kano, 11 died and a number of others were disabled by the drug. The plaintiffs had also asked the court to stop Pfizer from " further administering, seeking to administer, or seeking approval for the use of the drug in whatever form on the pediatric population in Nigeria, without the consent of the parents.
