two million Nigerians obtain COVID-19 jabs

More than two million Nigerians have obtained the first dose of the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine, The National Primary Healthcare Development Agency declared in Abuja on Thursday.


Its Executive Director, Dr Faisal Shuaib, informed newsmen that 2,099,568 people have been vaccinated with their first doses, whilst 1,005,234 have received their second doses of the vaccine as at Thursday.


He stated the agency had prolonged the timeline for the administration of 2nd doses of the vaccine from June 25 to July 5.


He explained that the choice to lengthen the timeline resulted from considerable constraints of various financial and social engagements of recipients.


Shuaib counseled those who acquired the first dose not later than May 13 to visit the nearest vaccination site to receive the 2nd dose as quickly as feasible for full protection.


He stated that the administration of first doses is still on-going and advised Nigerians to avail themselves of the opportunity.

The Supreme Court Appears To Be Leaning Toward Upholding A Mississippi Abortion Legislation That Would Overturn Roe V. Wade.

  The Supreme Court hinted on Wednesday that it is on the verge of significantly curtailing abortion rights in the United States, and that it is likely to maintain a Mississippi law that violates one of the key principles of the Roe v. Wade decision, which was handed down over 50 years ago. It was uncertain if the court would finally overturn Roe, which held that women have a fundamental right to terminate their pregnancies. Mississippi's statute forbidding most abortions after 15 weeks, according to Chief Justice John G. Roberts Jr., is not a "dramatic departure" from viability, and gives women adequate time to decide whether or not to terminate their pregnancies. However, none of the court's six conservative members expressed support for upholding the court's ruling that states cannot prohibit abortion before fetal viability, which is commonly believed to be between 22 and 24 weeks of pregnancy. "Why would 15 weeks be an improper line?" he continued. O...

After industry organizations called for remaining limits and tests to be lifted, ministers are finalizing revisions to the trip Covid testing requirements. According to Star TV, the government may eliminate the requirement for people to take a test two days before coming in the UK. Airlines have claimed that passenger testing is having little real impact, despite data released last week indicating that one in every 25 individuals in England has the virus. Compulsory testing, they claim, has slowed the sector's recovery. It comes as the prime minister prepares to meet with his cabinet to persuade them to support his decision not to impose any more Covid limits in the UK. According to Star Tv, the government is considering removing the recommendation that persons who test positive on a lateral flow device should seek a confirmatory PCR test. Boris Johnson said on Tuesday that he thought the UK could "ride out" the current storm, albeit he admitted that the NHS might be temp...
