Nigeria is expecting to receive more than three million doses of Pfizer vaccines in the next two weeks, a healthcare official said on Tuesday.

Nearly five million people across the country have received their first jab, representing about 4% of the targeted 111 million eligible population.

Two million people have been fully vaccinated.

On Monday France donated 501,000 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines to Nigeria.

President Buhari said his government will continue to explore options for acquisition of vaccines to enable it to vaccinate at least 70% of the eligible population
