Agege LGA Takes Delivery Of COVID-19 Vaccine

Alhaji Ganiyu Egunjobi, Executive Chairman, Agege Local Government area of Lagos State, says he has taken delivery of the council’s allocation of COVID-19 vaccine from the state government.

Egunjobi made this known on Monday while taking his dose of the vaccine along with the frontline workers and health workers in the council area.

“Today, I received AstraZeneca jab vaccine alongside scores of frontline workers, particularly in the public health sector after taken delivery of COVID-19 vaccine doses from the Lagos State Government.

“It is pertinent to say the claim that AstraZeneca is unsafe and causes blood clots in recipients has not been subscribed to by the World Health Organisation (WHO),” he said.

According to him, we must not lose sight of the fact that some countries are teetering on the edge of the third wave of the stubborn pandemic.

The council chairman said Gov. Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State was on a mission to ensure that all residents of the state were vaccinated very soon.

“So, we must be disposed to get vaccinated and take all the unfolding conspiracy theories about vaccines generally with a pinch of salt.

“There is no doubt that the pandemic is still very much around.

“So, I urge us all to abide by all the non-pharmaceutical measures put in place to mitigate the spread of the pandemic,” he said.
