The Federal Government says it is working with global health and research organisations who are developing COVID-19 vaccines.
The Minister of Health, Dr. Osagie Ehanire, made this known in Abuja on Thursday during a briefing of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19.
He also said Nigeria was planning with the organisations for the allocation of 2 billion vaccine doses as soon as they are available.
Ehanire said, “Nigeria is also working with the World Health Organisation to finalise enrolment with the ACT – Access To COVID-19 Tools Accelerator, a global mechanism tracking and sponsoring global organisations working on COVID-19 vaccine development.
