The National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA) has said Nigeria is not a dumping ground for the Oxford Astrazeneca vaccine.
This is even as the body directed states that have attained 50 per cent vaccination to stop work for improved vaccines in the second dose.
NPHCDA’s National Coordinator for COVID-19 Vaccines in Adamawa State, Mohammed Isa, who spoke at a media dialogue on routine immunisation and COVID-19 vaccination organised by the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF) and the Federal Ministry of Information and Culture, explained that considering the resumption of immunisation by other nations, “there is a global shortage, as it is not clear when Nigeria will get the next batch of the vaccine.”
Isa observed that some two million Nigerians had received the first dose of the therapy, going by call-in data from over 2.3million respondents.
