On March 2, the long-awaited COVID-19 vaccine finally arrived the country courtesy of the UN-led COVAX facility, which donated 3,924,000 doses to Nigeria.

Nigeria commenced its COVID-19 vaccination with frontline health workers in Abuja last Friday.

After President Muhamadu Buhari and Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo received the vaccine on Saturday at the presidential villa, the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) started deployment to states.

Ogun was the first state to get the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, and Dapo Abiodun became the first governor to receive the jab.

Among other governors that have received the vaccine are: Babajide Sanwo-Olu, Lagos state; Abdullahi Ganduje, Kano; Ifeanyi Okowa, Delta; Ahmadu Fintiri, Adamawa; Rotimi Akeredolu, Ondo; Muhammad Badaru, Jigawa; Gboyega Oyetola, Osun; Kayode Fayemi, Ekiti, and Abdulrahman Abdulrazaq, Kwara.
