NKURENKURU – Chief of the Ukwangali Traditional Authority Eugene Siwombe Kudumo, has called on his subjects to get vaccinated against the dreadful Covid-19.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are all responsible to ensure that this virus which has taken people\u2019s lives must come to an end,\u201d he said. Kudumo was speaking shortly after he received his first dose of the Sinopharm vaccine at his palace on Friday.<\/p>\n

Members of the traditional authority\u2019s chief\u2019s council also received their jabs. Furthermore, Kudumo also appealed to the traditional authority\u2019s staff, village elders and headmen to keep encouraging those staying within their areas to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cTake this message and encourage residents that they should go to their nearest clinics to get vaccinated,\u201d he urged. This, he said, is the only way that the virus will be successfully defeated. \u201cIf we will not get vaccinated, then it will not end,\u201d he stressed. The chief noted with concern there is misinformation being spread around communities, which is scaring people; as such, many were shying away from taking the vaccine. \u201cVaccination campaigns are not new, even way back, there were vaccines and even now, there are vaccines administered on people to prevent certain diseases,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
