To date, the United States has delivered more than 370 million vaccine doses to over 110 countries. “This includes the over 24.7 million U.S-donated doses of COVID-19 vaccines to the Nigerian people. It is important to note that all U.S.-donated Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccine doses to Nigeria have had an expiration deadline of at least 6 months or more upon receipt to ensure adequate time for use.“Vaccine donations are a part of the U.S. government’s continued partnership with the Government of Nigeria in combating COVID-19.

“The U.S. government urges all Nigerians to go out and get vaccinated to make themselves safe and make use of the donated COVID-19 vaccines. These actions will strengthen not only the health and well-being of the nation but the overall worldwide response to the pandemic.”
