“Our cell groups also own all those vaccines when they get home. Welcome them and introduce yourself and your children eligible for vaccination, if applicable,” he said.

“We appreciate our partnership with UPS and will continue to work with all stakeholders to help Nigeria fulfill its purpose of vaccinating part of its global population against COVID-19.

The head of NPHCDA congratulated the UPS Foundation for donating 22 ultra-low temperature freezers to Nigeria.
“This donation comes at the right time and responds to our need for energy-efficient bloodless chain systems for the vaccine garage in Nigeria,” he said.
