Reportedly, Nigeria has received 2 million doses of the Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) COVID-19 vaccine from Finland, Greece, and Slovenia. More EU donations are expected to arrive in the coming weeks, as part of a donation pledge by the European Union to African countries via the COVAX initiative launched by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020 to distribute vaccines to some of the world’s poorest people.
Samuela Isopi, the EU ambassador to Nigeria, said the doses were “part of a global donation of almost 20 million J&J doses from EU member states to Nigeria” and more would arrive in the coming weeks. The vaccines are currently placed in a cold room at the airport of the Nigerian capital Abuja.
The country had been accepting vaccines with short shelf lives from donor nations in an attempt to use them quickly and provide basic protection for Nigerians due to vaccine scarcity in the past. In December. the government informed it had destroyed about 1 million donated vaccine doses after they had expired.
