The federal government has announced a new date of August 16, 2021 to begin administering the second batch of COVID-19 Moderna vaccine doses donated by the United States of America.
“We have received 4,80,000 doses of the Moderna vaccine and we will commence administering the doses on Monday August 16. He said: “Like the first batch of the Astrazeneca Vaccine, which had been fully administered without hitch, the doses of Moderna vaccine donated to the country by the US were safe and meant to save lives’.“I can say authoritatively that we succeeded administering the four million doses of the vaccine and we do not have a single expired vaccine.
He explained that Nigerians of 18 years and above were targeted because the younger ones, even in the US, were now becoming more vulnerable to COVID-19 infection and attack. “If you have our two doses, it is clear that even if you are infected with COVID-19, it will be very mild.
