The second dose is being administered exactly 12 weeks after the first shot was taken on March 6.
He was vaccinated by the Chief Nursing Officer at the State House Clinic, Nurse Esther Tukur.

The Presidential steering committee says it aims to vaccinate 40% of eligible Nigerians and another 30% in 2022 to attain 70 percent coverage of estimated 200 million people by 2022.
