All 36 states of the federation are expected to take delivery of their shares of the 3.9 million AstraZenaca vaccine doses received last week by the end of Tuesday (today).
This Presidential Task Force disclosed this on Monday, noting that the vaccination programme has commenced.
Health workers in states are slated to receive vaccine jabs today. Governors will tomorrow inaugurate general vaccination for citizens in their states.
This comes after President Muhammadu Buhari and Vice President Yemi Osinbajo received jabs of the vaccine last Saturday.
Mustapha said the objective of the Federal Government is to vaccinate about 70 percent of 200 million Nigerians by the end of next year.
A total of 127 million vaccine doses are expected. The next batch of 16 million will be delivered next month, according to the Presidential Task Force (PTF).
