Africa’s most populous nation has been able to vaccinate only about 1.23% of its population, according to Africa CDC, as it continues to see a spike in infection rates driven by the highly infectious Delta variant. Health workers in Nigeria on Monday started to vaccinate people with the Moderna COVID-19 as the country aims to protect its population amid a surge of infections.

Authorities expect a further delivery of more than 29 million Johnson & Johnson doses purchased by the government through the African Union.
