Mr Olorunnimbe Mamora, Minister of State for Health, has warned Nigerians against complacency in containing the COVID-19 pandemic as vaccines may not arrive the country as soon as expected.
Represented by the Director, Hospital Services, Federal Ministry of Health, Adebimpe Adebiyi, he made this known while speaking at the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 briefing on Thursday.
“We are working very hard to get vaccines for our people. It may not come soon enough, therefore we need to be alive to get the vaccines when they come.
“In the first phase through the COVAX facility, we expect to receive approximately 100,000 doses of the Pfizer and bioNtech vaccine by the end of January,” he said.
