According to the News Agency of Nigeria (NAN), the commissioner had earlier revealed that 317,916 persons were vaccinated with the first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine.
Abayomi said the administration of the second dose of the vaccine, which began on May 28, 2021, would end on July 9, 2021.
He, therefore, advised citizens who had received the first dose to proceed to the health facilities where they got their first dose on their scheduled appointment dates.
The commissioner also advised residents to stagger their arrival at the vaccination site from between 8.00 a.m. to 1.00 p.m. to avoid overcrowding and overwhelming the health workers.
