On 16 November 2021, the Federal Ministry of Health (MoH) launched a COVID-19 vaccination campaign aiming to vaccinate people aged 12 years and above.<\/p>\n
The Ministry has deployed over 28,000 vaccinators and more than 6.2 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines for the campaign, namely, Sinopharm, AstraZeneca, Johnson & Johnson\/Janssen, and Pfizer-BioNTech. These vaccines will be used for the campaign together with vaccines that had been deployed earlier. Only Pfizer-BioNTech will be administered to the 12-18 years age group in 62 cities, while the other vaccines will be administered to those aged 18 years and older across the country in all accessible regions, zones and districts. <\/p>\n
Several health and immunization partners, including WHO, UNICEF, AMREF, Resolve to Save Lives Fund, Save the Children, PATH, USAID, Alive & Thrive, Clinton Health Action Initiative, and Johns Hopkins University, are supporting this campaign.<\/p>\n
