The National Primary Health Care Development Agency, NPHCDA, has announced an online self registration link that will enable Nigerians to personally register themselves, obtain their pre-vaccination numbers and schedule their preferred date and time for vaccination.
The agency led by Dr. Faisal Shuaib announced this today during the launching of the T.E.A.C.H. Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination and Electronic Management of Immunization Data (EMID). NPHCDA said the initiative is a very important activity to assure Nigerians of the agency’s readiness to roll out the COVID-19 Vaccination campaign smoothly.
Nigeria is expected to receive about 4 million doses of the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine tomorrow, as the National Primary Health Care Development Agency sets to immediately commence the vaccination of Nigerians in priority groups, starting with the frontline health care workers.
The NPHCDA through its Twitter handle, said;
“In less than 24 hours, the first batch of AstraZeneca vaccines will arrive in Nigeria from the COVAX Facility & will be deployed to vaccinate, first our critical frontline health care workers, who are providing essential care.
“Vaccines that are not approved by NAFDAC will be determined as dangerous, and will be seized by Customs Services and NAFDAC, who are on high alert for illegal vaccine importation.
“No private hospital or organization has experience with handling this type of vaccine and certainly no experience in vaccine application that NPHCDA has.
“The introduction of the electronic management of immunization data is critical to addressing challenges with integrity and quality data and ultimately, primary health care data.”
The EMID registration portal is created to capture data and schedule citizens for covid-19 vaccination. This is expected to make vaccination easier and faster.
