Di oga kpata-kpata of Primary Health Care Development Agency, Faisal Shuaib yarn tori pipo dis one for Abuja as e dey try deny local tori say WHO disqualify di kontri.
Di WHO -led COVAX global initiative bin choose Cape Verde, South Africa, Rwanda among di first kontri to get di first doses of di vaccine.
Nigeria bin don announce and ready to receive 100,000 doses of di vaccine sometime for end of January or early February but for last minute, di WHO change dia mind plus formular on top which kontri deserve di vaccine pass.
Oga Shuaib say di reason why di world health body choose dis oda kontri na sake of di number of new cases, di trend in di number of cases, di population of di kontri and di availability of di cold chain equipment.
E further explain give say kontris like South Africa wey get di Pfizer allocation na sake of say dem get new strain of di Covid -19 virus and di number of death dey high for di kontri.
And for Cape Verde and Rwanda, di kontri dey small and even di few doses wey dem go give dem, e go epp dem well well pass Nigeria.
Di world Health Regional Director, say for Africa, Nigeria bin dey among di nine kontris for di continent wey suppose get di Pfizer vaccine, but unfortunately, e no come dey easy to give all di 51 kontris wit di Pfizer doses as e no go achieve di desired result.
E say even though Nigeria no get di initial 100, 000 doses of di Pfizer vaccine, e go get di 16 million AstraZeneca doses sometime for February.
And dat one go cover more population pass di Pfizer one.
Di AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine still dey under review but di WHO representative assure say di result go come out soon.
