The Federal Government has announced August 16 as the new date for the beginning of the second phase of COVID-19 vaccination in the country.
The phase will see the country administering the Moderna vaccine doses donated by the United States.

The minister explained that the postponement of the commencement from August 10 to August 16 was “purely administrative.”
