The United Nations Children’s Fund, UNICEF, on Tuesday in Yola begged Nigerians to get vaccinated against COVID-19 and stop spreading rumours about the vaccines.
Making the plea in Yola, the Adamawa State Capital during a three-day media workshop, the UNICEF Specialist, Communication for Development, Mrs Elizabeth Onitolo, said everyone was at risk of contracting the virus.
According to her, the only way was to get vaccinated and stop the rumours that the Astrazeneca vaccine was associated with side effects.
Onitolo stated that the government was doing everything to get people to focus on the science that justified the use of the vaccine rather than creates sensational politics and unfounded stories around it.
