Bello had kicked against the COVID-19 vaccination, saying it was meant to kill people.
“On the ill-fated pronouncement made by a member of the forum regarding the COVID-19 vaccine in a national daily, the forum totally and categorically dissociated itself from the statement.
“The forum emphasised that it will continue to be informed and guided by science and will ensure that every decision it takes will help retains public and professional trust and is not compromised by conflicts of interest,” he said.
Fayemi also briefed the governors on his meeting with Dr Ngozi Okonjo-Iweala, Chairperson of Board of the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), on the rollout of the COVAX facility.
“COVAX is a global risk-sharing mechanism co-led by GAVI, the Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations (CEPI) and the World Health Organization (WHO) to facilitate pooled procurement and the equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccines across developing countries,” he said.
