The Presidential Taskforce has said that although COVID-19 vaccines would be free, Nigerians will have to pay for logistics and operations.
National Cordinaotor of the PTF, Dr. Sanni Aliyu disclosed this in a statement over the weekend.
Aliyu who noted that only 20 per cent of the population will get the vaccine next year, and another 20 to 40 per cent in the next two years, did not stipulate the amount to be paid for logistics.
“We already have an assurance of getting 20 per cent of our population accommodated, that is, about 40 million Nigerians will have access to it”, the PTF National Coordinator said on a television programme last week,” he said
“We don’t have to pay for the vaccine, but we have to pay for the operations and the logistics associated with it,” Dr. Aliyu added.
