Nigeria getting 100,000 doses of Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine—expected by early Feb—through #Covax facility. Will be stored in this Abuja facility (video). (Still a drop in the ocean, but negotiations ongoing to acquire more—with focus on the ones that can be stored at warmer temps).
Update here: @NigeriaGov through @NphcdaNG says it has capacity (cold chain) currently to store 400,000 Pfizer vaccines. The vaccine requires extremely low temperatures, so the 🇳🇬 focus is primarily on other vaccines that can be kept at warmer temperatures.
More information on Nigeria’s rollout of the first batch of Covid vaccines (Pfizer) arriving early February through the #Covax facility.

Q: How does Nigeria plan to transport the Pfizer vaccines from the sophisticated cold chain equipment in Abuja to States and Local Governments around the country where they might be needed, considering the temp requirements?
