The National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, says over two million Nigerians have received the first dose of the Oxford/Astrazeneca vaccine.
Dr Faisal Shuaib, Executive Director of the Agency made this known in Abuja on Thursday.
He noted that the timeline for the administration of second doses of the vaccine had been extended by the Agency from June 25 to July 5.
Faisal also said cases of mild, moderate and severe reactions that have been recorded are expected from normal vaccination and people who experienced any of these have since recovered and are doing well.
He called on Nigerians not to allow the fear of side effects to discourage them from taking the vaccine.
