President Muhammadu Buhari has been vaccinated against COVID-19 with AstraZeneca vaccine which arrived in Nigeria on Tuesday.
Buhari was vaccinated by his personal physician on Saturday at about 11:51 am at a brief ceremony witnessed by top government officials at the New Banquet Hall of the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
He was the first among the nation’s strategic leaders to take the vaccine after some frontline health workers at the treatment centre of the National Hospital, Abuja, got vaccinated on Friday.
Vice-President Yemi Osinbajo is expected to also get vaccinated later this Saturday while state governors would receive theirs on Wednesday.
