The federal government formally unveiled a strategy to enable the country achieve its COVID-19 vaccination target.
While giving an update on the vaccination exercise, the government said the country has so far taken delivery of 64 million 113 hundred 760 doses of COVID-19 vaccines since vaccination began and has administered 24.8 million doses.
Speaking at the launch of the initiative, the Minister of Health, Osagie Ehanire said as at the end January 2022, the country had vaccinated 20 million of her eligible population.
He commended National Health Care Development Agency NPHCDA efforts to expand COVID-19 vaccination sites in the country which has helped to fast track the campaign.
Ehanire said primary healthcare centres would have helped greatly in administering the COVID19 vaccine if they were readily available across the country.
He therefore solicited the assistance of development partners to redirect efforts towards establishing primary healthcare centres in the rural areas.
