The federal government will Monday commence the second phase of vaccination of Nigerians against the COVID-19 virus in Abuja.
The commencement of the vaccination was earlier shifted from last Tuesday to Monday due to what the agency said had to do with issues of relabelling of the vaccine doses for easy tracking by the regulatory agency, the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control . Shuaib said: “While we appreciate your understanding and the patience of the Nigerian public, it is important to mention that the delay witnessed in the rollout of the vaccine is as a result of our continued commitment to work with our partners and other agencies to ensure that when we roll out the vaccines they are as successful as what we witnessed during the 1st phase of the vaccination rollout.
