The Federal Government has launched an e-registration portal for COVID-19 vaccination as Nigeria prepares to take delivery of 3.92 million doses of COVID-19 vaccine on Tuesday.
The National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA) launched the e-registration platform for electronic management of the COVID-19 vaccination on Monday.
The registration platform is powered by the Federal Ministry of Health for the electronic management of immunization data (EMID).
The portal captures data and schedules individuals for COVID-19 vaccination, with a promise that registering on the platform will make vaccination easier and faster.
While individuals can also check their vaccination schedule on the portal, it contains functionalities to retrieve COVID-19 vaccination certificates by the use of PreVac/Vaccination Number.
