This was contained in a statement issued on Thursday, June 24; by the Executive Director of the National Primary Healthcare Development Agency (NPHCDA), Dr. Faisal Shuaib, who said the country is yet to record any case of death directly linked to the COVID-19 vaccination.
Shuaib further noted that anybody yet to take the second jab of the vaccine should hurry up; and go to the nearest designated vaccination centre to do so.
He said, “It is, however, important for me to repeat that Nigeria has not recorded any case of death; directly linked to the COVID-19 vaccination”.
He added that the agency was tracking the utilisation of the vaccines to ensure that those that have early expiration dates are administered first to avoid wastage.
Shuaib said cases of mild, moderate, and severe reactions on the vaccine; that have been recorded were those expected from normal vaccination; adding that those who experienced any of those have since recovered and are doing well.
