But, we want everyone to take it as personal responsibility, which is highly important.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhat we seek to achieve by this campaign is to ensure there is access to the vaccines and availability. Then, give people an opportunity to get vaccinated at centres close to them. This will give nobody a reason not to get the vaccines,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The Commissioner for Health, Akin Abayomi, said that the vaccination campaign is ambitious, adding that the state government has put in place two-pronged approaches to prevent the fourth wave of the pandemic.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe first step is to control the in-bound flight passengers and maintain adherence to all preventive measures that have been put in place, while the second step is to closely monitor the isolation of those coming from the red zone area,\u201d Mr Abayomi said.<\/p>\n<p>The NPHCDA Executive Director, Shuaib Faisal, said that only 2,950,232 Nigerians had been fully vaccinated, which was a far cry from reaching the target number for herd immunity.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have enough vaccines in storage to give many people the opportunity to get vaccinated. We now have the jabs, but we now need the arms,\u201d Mr Faisal said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Lagos State Government on Wednesday unveiled a mass vaccination campaign, as part of the strategies to stave off the re-emergence of the COVID-19 viral infection.
