Federal Government has commenced the rollout of its second batch of Coronavirus vaccine, the 4,000,080 Moderna vaccine doses donated by the United States of America.
The National Primary Health Care Development Agency , said at the launch on Monday at the Federal Medical Centre, Jabi, Abuja, that the donation was to step up efforts to battle COVID-19 infection in the country.The News Agency of Nigeria reports that the donation was part of President Joe Biden’s promise to give 500 million vaccines to the world by the end of 2022.
This is to enhance coverage across the continent and vaccinate at least 60 per cent of the African population. According to the Director-General of the NAFDAC, Prof. Mojisola Adeyeye, NAFDAC has been preparing for this for about a year now.“So you can ask yourself, why should I take the vaccine, because NAFDAC satisfy it, why should I take the vaccine because NAFDAC worked around the clock to ensure that the health of Nigerians is premium in whatever we do.
“When you take your vaccine you may have a little bit of fever or rash but not to worry, we have the med safety app you can download it from Google. “As we celebrate the acquisition of these vaccines today and begin the second phase of distribution. I’d like to acknowledge all the healthcare workers across our country that has been working so hard in this response.“As they continue working hard I ask Nigerians to please keep supporting them to deliver on these boxes, as we start queuing up from tomorrow to get vaccinated.
