Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Dr. Faisal Shuaib disclosed this at a ministerial briefing, yesterday, in Abuja.
He observed that from available statistics, it was clear that Nigeria is still far from achieving the set target of vaccinating 70 per cent of its eligible population.
The health agency boss said that more aggressive actions needed to be taken to fast-track the process to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19 infections in the country.
The country, last week, experienced a consistent rise in number of fresh Coronavirus infections, as the NCDC announced that it recorded 240 infections between June 8 and 15.
