LAGOS State has announced its complete depletion of its Mordena COVID-19 vaccine stock as of Wednesday, December 22nd, 2021.
Lagos Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, announced this in an official statement titled ‘Non-availability of #COVID19 Moderna Vaccine in Lagos State – Appeal for Restraint by Lagos State Ministry of Health’.
The statement reads: "Lagos State Ministry of Health (LSMOH) and Lagos State Primary Healthcare Board (LSPHCB) sincerely appeal for understanding over the non-availability of Moderna Vaccine in all vaccination centres in Lagos at the moment.
It should be noted that the supply of Vaccines to all states of the Federation is done exclusively by National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA). Like other states of the federation, Lagos State relies on NPHCDA for supply of all COVID-19 Vaccines
At the moment, Lagos State is yet to be supplied with another batch of Mordena Vaccine since the last stock was exhausted. The situation is however temporary.
Lagos State is in touch with NPHCDA to ensure availability of adequate doses of Mordena Vaccine at vaccination centres as soon as possible.
Please be rest assured that second doses of Mordena Vaccine will be administered to all who have received the first doses as soon as Lagos State receives new supply from NPHCDA.
All those who have received the first doses will be adequately notified and attended to accordingly as soon as new supply of Mordena Vaccine arrives Lagos State.
Thanks for your understanding!"
Lagos residents are, therefore, admonished to obey COVID-19 safety rules as they patiently wait until the new supply of the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.
