He was among a handful of people to volunteer for an early Ebola vaccination as part of a program the government hopes will crush the outbreak by April.
Guinea is continuing its fight against the deadly Ebola disease with its mass vaccination campaign that started on Tuesday.
It comes after the latest outbreak this month which killed five people in the southeastern region of Nzérékoré.
They were the first cases in Guinea since the 2013-2016 epidemic that killed more than 11,300 in West Africa.
The World Health Organization has sent 11,000 vaccines to Guinea this week and plans to send 8,000 more. Here we vaccinate contacts first, since the pathology was discovered in this hospital, we are now vaccinating contacts first, said Dr Kaba Keita, general director of the regional hospital of Nzérékoré.
