Coming after South Africa declared the vaccine safe, Nigeria’s Presidential Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19 says that the federal government has signed off to receive up to 29.8 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine through the African Union (AU).
With this Nigeria could get up to 70 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson this year. The committee also mentioned that the country was also expecting deliveries of vaccines through the COVAX facility by the end of May or early June.
