Nigeria is expecting its first 4 million doses of coronavirus vaccines next week from the global COVAX programme for poor and middle-income countries, the World Health Organisation said on Friday.

Walter Kazadi Mulombo, head of WHO's mission in Nigeria, told a briefing by video link that Nigeria was expecting 14 million doses in total.

Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with some 200 million people, has reported fewer than 1,900 Covid-19 deaths so far. He also referred to the findings of seroprevalence studies, published on Monday, which suggested that 23% of Lagos state inhabitants — about 4 million people — may have had Covid-19 in October.
