Nigeria receives over 850,000 COVID-19 vaccines from Japan

The federal government has received 859,600 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines and 175 solar direct drive refrigerators donated by the government of Japan.

Speaking during the exercise in Abuja, Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Dr Faisal Shuaib, said the donated vaccine doses would bolster the global efforts to defeat the coronavirus pandemic.

“We are particularly happy about the Solar Direct Drive (SDD) Refrigerators because of their advantages in independent and uninterrupted power source for vaccine storage.

The Japanese Ambassador to Nigeria, Matsunaga Kazuyoshi, said the vaccines were donated to support Nigeria’s fight against COVID-19.

“This is the first Japanese vaccine to arrive in Sub-Saharan Africa. Eradicating vaccine hesitancy and increasing vaccination coverage is the key to winning the fight against COVID-19,” he said.
