COVID-19: Nigeria Assured of 41 Million Vaccine Doses

COVID-19: Nigeria Assured of 41 Million Vaccine Doses.

The federal government of Nigeria has secured additional 41 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for Nigerians, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire, confirmed on Thursday.

The Minister said the date for the delivery of the vaccines was not certain yet.

 “We do not have an exact date,” Dr Ehanire said during an appearance on Channels Television’s Politics Today. “The date it comes out depends on when the manufacturers are able to deliver, and that is not something that any country can enforce at this time.”

On the 100,000 COVID-19 vaccines expected from the WHO-backed Covax sharing facility, Ehanire also disclosed that they are now expected in the country by February instead of the earlier date of January.

He explained that the change in date is not the government’s fault as only manufacturers are responsible for the delivery dates.

 “The timelines are not in the hands of the recipient,” the Minister noted.
