The federal government has expressed disappointment that less than two-thirds of the projected eligible persons targeted in the current phase of the COVID-19 vaccination received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine.
The Chairman, President Steering Committee (PSC) on COVID-19, Mr Boss Mustapha, decried the vaccine hesitancy by the public at a press briefing yesterday.
He said 1,173,869 Nigerians, representing 58.3 per cent of the targeted population received the vaccines, adding that it is low by its projection.
He urged Nigerians not to forget that the virus is still virulent and raging in some other countries.
