The President, Muhammadu Buhari, received a booster jab of
the COVID-19 on Tuesday at the State House in Abuja, amidst the recorded surge
in the Omicron variant.
The Federal Government had commenced the administration of
booster jabs earlier in December to help stem the spread of the Omicron
variant.
At the time of commencement, the Executive Director of the
National Primary Healthcare Development Agency, Faisal Shuaib, said “Following
the detection of the Omicron variant of COVID-19 in Nigeria, the Federal
Government reviewed the country’s vaccination programme and resolved to
introduce the booster dose using the Pfizer Bio-N-Tech vaccine across the
country.”
According to the NPHCDA, only people aged 18 and above, who
have received full doses of the AstraZeneca, Moderna, or Pfizer Bio-N-Tech or a
single dose of the Johnson and Johnson vaccine, are eligible for the booster
dose.
