According to a statement released, on Sunday, August 29, 2021, by the Lagos State Ministry of Health, the administration of the second dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine will hold across the 88 vaccination sites used during the first phase of the vaccination exercise. The exercise is scheduled to hold for 20 days; between Monday, August 30 and Friday, September 24, 2021.
The statement reads; “Citizens who have received the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine and due for a second dose are encouraged to report to the vaccination sites where they received the first jab to get their second jab. To get the second dose, eligible persons are only required to come to the vaccination sites with their vaccination cards as scheduled between the hours of 9.00 am and 3.00 pm, weekdays only. There is no need for E-registration for this category of people.
“It is important to note that mixing one brand of vaccine with another brand in this exercise is not allowed. Those who have received AstraZeneca as the first dose should receive AstraZeneca as the second dose, while those who have received Moderna as the first dose will receive Moderna as the second dose when due.”
The Lagos State Government, however, encouraged citizens who are yet to receive any vaccine to pre-register and schedule an appointment for the Moderna vaccine on the E-registration portal of the NPHCDA via https://nphcda.vaccination.gov.ng/
