COVID-19 VACCINATION: Anxiety over security, logistics, climate challenges On By Chioma Obinna Despite the euphoria generated by last Tuesday’s arrival of COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria, some challenges may affect the successful vaccination of Nigerians, findings by Sunday Vanguard revealed. After several postponements of arrival dates, the country received 3.94 million doses of Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine on March 2, 2021. The country intends to vaccinate 70 percent of its 200 million people to effectively get the required immunity against COVID-19 infection. According to the Director of National Primary Health Care Development Agency, NPHCDA, Dr. Faisal Shuaib, doses of vaccines would be arriving in batches due to limited supply. Richer countries have gone far with vaccinations, leaving poorer countries behind.
