Ondo: Disregard rumours on harmful vaccination

Ondo State Health Commissioner Dr Wahab Adegbenro has urged parents and guardians to disregard rumours about some deadly vaccine allegedly administered on pupils by “unknown soldiers”.

The commissioner described the report as untrue.

He said there was no immunisation campaign in the state, besides  the routine immunisation at health facilities.

Adegbenro said the people would be notified whenever there was an immunisation campaign.

He urged residents not to misconstrue the current net campaign for an immunisation.

The Health commissioner noted that the state’s vaccines were potent enough, adding that the people will be notified when a vaccination takes place.

Adegbenro appealed to heads of educational institutions not to allow any immunisation in their schools until the government so directs.

He reassured residents that the government places a high premium on health and lives.
