The vaccine, which arrived in Nigeria last week, was received on behalf of the government by officials of the United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund.
The vaccine, received at the Nnamdi Azikiwe International Airport, had since been handed over to the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control for screening.
The Presidential Steering Committee on COVID-19, in a notice on Saturday, announced that the administration of the vaccine would start on Tuesday.
The Director of Press, Office of the Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Willie Bassey, signed the statement titled, ‘Flag-off of second batch of moderna vaccine in Abuja.’
