 Nigeria has officially ended the first phase of its vaccination plan. The country is now preparing to commence the second vaccination phase in the next few weeks. Executive Director of the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Dr Faisal Shoaib, sent this at a press conference on COVID-19 vaccination updates on Tuesday. Plus, CV Africa's correspondent Anita Follis monitored the virtual event in our report. Conference Hall in Abuja are members of the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, NPHCDA, the World Health Organization and men of the press. The Executive Director of the NPHCDA, Dr Faisal Shoaib, gives these details about Nigeria's vaccination efforts. Nigeria has successfully vaccinated 3,938,945 eligible persons across 36 states and the FCT. This represents about 98% utilization of the 4,024,000 doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine that we received from the COVID facility in March of 2021. This comprises 2,534,205 people who have been vaccinated with the first dose and 1,404,205 people who have received their second dose of the vaccine. He disclosed that Nigeria is expecting the following shipments of more COVID-19 vaccine doses in the next few weeks. Firstly, 3,924,000 doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca by the end of July or early August 2021 from the COVAX facility. Secondly, 3,930,910 doses of the Pfizer-BioNTech or Moderna COVID-19 vaccine in August from the COVAX facility. This has been donated by the United States government. On his part, the WHO country representative Dr Walter Molombo appeals to Nigerians to shift their perspective regarding the value of the vaccines. When the vaccine is available, please demand to be able to take it. It is there for you to take your social responsibility to protect yourselves and to protect your communities and your families. This is a vaccine and a pandemic that won't go away for the time being unless we take the vaccine seriously and use it promptly. As Nigeria battles the new Delta wave of the coronavirus, the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency continues to advise Nigerians to adhere to health guidelines such as wearing a face mask and maintaining a hand hygiene and a social distance.
