The Federal Government says efforts are on to integrate the mass COVID-19 campaign with childhood immunisation and other Primary Health Care services.

The Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Faisal Shuaib, stated this in Abuja during a media briefing on the Progress of COVID-19 vaccination in the country.

Dr. Shuaib said alongside the COVID-19 vaccines, childhood vaccines would also be available at COVID-19 vaccination sites to prevent any neglect in other health care services or even have outbreaks of childhood vaccine-preventable diseases at hand.

Dr. Shuaib further disclosed that as at 25th of this month, records showed that over 14 million eligible persons had received the first dose of COVID-19 vaccine in the country while over 5 million eligible Nigerians had been fully vaccinated.

He also identified the Federal Capital Territory, Nasarawa, Jigawa, Ogun and Kwara states as the top 5 performing states on COVID-19 vaccine uptake.

Dr. Shuaib however advocated State Governors support especially those on low performance to be charged with the responsibility of ensuring that the populace within their constituencies were duly vaccinated.

Dr Shuaib said Nigeria has not recorded any death arising from Covid Vaccine since the commencement of the exercise March last year.
