Nigeria has successfully utilized 3.9M doses, representing 96percent of the 4,024,000 doses of the COVID-19 vaccines received in the country,Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Dr Faisal Shuaib has said
He said 2,495,632 people have been vaccinated with the first dose, while 1,370,130 have received their second dose of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine in Nigeria.
Shuaib,who spoke at a press conference in Abuja,said Nigeria is poised to achieve 100% utilization of the doses of vaccine it has received in the next few days with a view to ensuring that people are protected against COVID-19 pandemic.
He said:”We must take informed steps to guard ourselves from being misled by those who are spreading misconceptions about COVID-19 vaccines. It is important for our media to understand that the truth, which they hold so high in principle, is at war with falsehood, and therefore every effort must be made to ensure that people are vaccinated against COVID-19 if we want truth to be victorious.
“Today I would like to make very clear and demonstrate publicly that COVID-19 vaccine does not create any magnetic effect around the vaccination site or any part of the body for that matter, neither does it cause the body to light up an electric bulb. It is also a well-known fact that persons with wet, moist, or sticky skin can have objects stuck to their skin especially in smooth areas. Strong friction also allows for objects to stick to the skin. COVID -19 vaccines do not contain any metal – this is another fact! So how can it generate magnetic field or light an electric bulb?”.
