It is important to stress that the President and other strategic leaders received their vaccine from the same 3.924million doses of AstraZeneca\/Oxford COVID-19 vaccine delivered to Flag of Nigeria last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere is no difference between the vaccine received by the president and the vaccine that will be administered to other eligible Nigerians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt is our belief that this public and practical endorsement of the vaccine will build the trust, encourage and motivate the general public in the acceptance and uptake of the COVID-19 vaccine during the vaccination campaign.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs previously mentioned, in preparation for the vaccination campaign, the Presidential Task Force through the NPHCDA and in collaboration with donors and development partners, developed operational and training manuals to train over 100.000 health workers (which has commenced) at National, State, LGA, and Health facility levels for the seamless deployment of the vaccines to the designated population.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe movement of vaccines to the states has commenced today (Monday). All things being equal, the delivery of the vaccines will be completed tomorrow. The delivery of the vaccines to the states is predicated on satisfactorily meeting the conditions to keep them safe and potent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe state launch of the COVID-19 vaccination for frontline health worker is slated for March 9th at the State Treatment Centers, barring any prevailing local conditions, most Governors have agreed to flag-off on March 10th, while the state-wide rollout of COVID-19 vaccine will commence from the 12th of March.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Dr. Faisal Shuaib, said on Monday all eligible Nigerians would receive the same jabs of the AstraZeneca\/Oxford COVID-19 vaccine administered on President Muhammadu Buhari.
