President Muhammadu Buhari had earlier on Saturday also received his second dose of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on Saturday at the State House in Abuja.
The President’s innoculation was done by the Chief Personal Physician to the President, Dr. Suhayb Rafindadi Sanusi after which he was presented with the e-vaccination card by the executive director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr. Faisal Shuaib.
The Presidential steering committee said it aimed to vaccinate 40% of eligible Nigerians and another 30% in 2022 to attain 70 percent coverage of estimated 200 million people by 2022.
