The latest data from the National Primary Health Care Development Agency has revealed that the South-South and South-East states of Nigeria rank low in COVID-19 vaccination.

According to the data, the South-South and South-East states of Bayelsa, Ebonyi, Anambra, Imo and Akwa Ibom still rank very low when compared to other states in the country.

According to the NPHCDA data, Bayelsa has vaccinated the least number of people against COVID-19 with only 58,112 recipients receiving the first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. Bayelsa is followed by Ebonyi with 96,400 recipients, while Imo and Anambra had 134,027 and 141,484 recipients inoculated with the first dose of COVID-19 vaccines.

The NCDC data, however, revealed that the Northern states of Nasarawa, Jigawa were the best performing states by the NPHCDA ranking followed by Ogun, the Federal Capital Territory and Kwara state.

The nation’s primary health agency also noted that in the last month, the number of fully vaccinated persons has increased by 20 per cent across the country.

It noted that 18,716,455 persons have received at least a dose of the COVID-19 vaccine so far. This accounts for 16.1 per cent of the total eligible population targeted with the vaccine. However, 9,361,616 which make up 8.4 per cent of the same population have been fully inoculated with the COVID-19 vaccine.
