State Immunisation Officer, DR IME UDOH says only 7% of persons eligible to take the COVID Vaccine in Akwa Ibom have received the jab.

This is a wide contrast from the 60%  herd immunity target for the disease.

Last week, the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control; NCDC had reported Akwa Ibom leading with 293 new infections for a period of 6days,  ahead of Lagos which had recorded 101 cases.

DR IME UDO stated these in an exclusive interview with our senior Health Correspondent, IMA DEM.

Beyond accessing the jabs at Public and Private health facilities, the state immunisation officer specified that there is a mobile option which involves the vaccines being taken to the people in their communities.
