The Lagos State government says 12,720 persons have so far been administered the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine less than 48 hours after the exercise kicked off in the State.
Lagos Commissioner for Health, Prof. Akin Abayomi, gave the updates on his verified twitter account @ProfAkinAbayomi.
Recall that vaccination commenced in Lagos on March 12 at the Infectious Disease Hospital in Yaba with 88 other accredited centres in the 20 local government areas.
The commissioner also noted that bed occupancy in public and private COVID-19 care centres has reduced from 60 per cent to eight per cent.
He also observed that from the beginning of February, there had been a decline in bed occupancy rate at the care centres.
Abayomi also disclosed that five of the 11 private and public treatment centres in Lagos were currently empty.
