Vaccine efforts<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Since the emergence of vaccines, at least seven different vaccines<\/a> across three platforms have been rolled out in many countries. Outside this, there are more than 200 vaccines being developed, of which more than 60 are in the clinical stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To curb the spread of the virus, the Nigerian government has been making efforts to purchase and make available coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccines in the 1st Quarter of 2021. The government has announced that it is expecting 16 million doses of the Astrazeneca vaccine through the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Assess Facility (COVAX), a World Health Organisation-backed programme set-up to divide about two billion doses of vaccines across 92 low-and middle-income countries. Four million doses of these vaccines were announced to arrive Tuesday March 2, 2021<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On Monday, the ministry of health<\/a> launched the T.E.A.C.H strategy for COVID-19 vaccination. This was announced on Twitter by the ministry<\/a> of health and NPHCDA<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the health ministry, the T.E.A.C.H is an acronym for a five-point strategy developed by the vaccination implementation arm of the Ministry of Health out of the many years of vaccination implementation experience in Nigeria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The <\/p>\n\n\n\n
