When Nigeria Receives COVID-19 Vaccines Doesn’t Lie in Our Hands — FG

Minister for Health, Dr Osagie Ehanire, was in Lagos, last week on a working tour of facilities at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital, LUTH.

During the visit, Good Health Weekly asked him on the pending delivery of the vaccines and he stated categorically that  Nigeria may be getting the first batch of the much-awaited COVID-19 vaccines by the end of February.

“So, the question of when you get a vaccine depends on when the manufacturer can give you a vaccine.”

“But, that is, as a matter of hope that if it may not be now but by March. But it doesn’t lie in our hands. It is when the vaccine is given to them we are ready to receive it.

“We are ready to receive it even this evening or tomorrow. We are ready and prepared, we have all the things that we need to prepare ourselves.” The minister answered.
