A medical doctor of the National Hospital, Abuja, Dr. Cyprian Ngong, who is the first person to receive a jab of the AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria said he would not have lost his father if the country had the vaccine.
He received the first shot of the vaccine today after the Chairman of the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 and Secretary to the Government of the Federation, Boss Mustapha, flagged off the COVID-19 vaccination exercise in Nigeria.
The vaccine was administered to him by the Chief Executive Officer of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Faisal Shuaib live on national television.
Speaking shortly after getting the vaccine, Ngong, a frontline health hailed the commencement of the exercise in Nigeria adding that he lost his father months ago to COVID-19, and that he might still be alive, if he had got a jab.

“They’ve provided everything we need for this fight. We’ve lost some, won some and we are happy we are getting the vaccine now in Nigeria. I think that is about the best news we’ve had since.
