FG takes COVID-19 vaccination to church

The Federal Government on Tuesday announced its plan to take COVID-19 vaccination to Christian worship centers.

The Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Faisal Shuaib, disclosed this during the sensitization of Christian leaders on the second phase of COVID-19 vaccination in Abuja.

He said, “Your Eminence, the CAN President, distinguished Christian leaders, ladies, and gentlemen, I am glad to inform you that from this Phase 2 of the COVID-19 vaccine roll out, we have introduced Sunday Vaccination.

“This is to ensure members of the Christian community who may not have had access to the vaccine for whatever reason are given an opportunity to be vaccinated at their worship places.

“I must say that feedback from the field is very encouraging and I sincerely thank all Christian leaders who have given the vaccination team access to their churches and their members to receive COVID-19 vaccine during sunday service.
