The Federal Government has announced that it will receive about 4.8 million doses of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccines on Monday.

The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) stated this on Sunday.

NPHCDA Executive Director/ CEO, Dr. Faisal Shuaib, in a memo issued to journalists in Abuja, said the consignment is a donation from the American government.

The expected shipment will be the largest of vaccines received since the nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign started in March this year.

Nigeria has run out of COVID-19 vaccines after an initial four million doses of AstraZeneca, received from the COVAX facility were utilized three weeks ago.
