\u201cLet us get the original vaccine and put an end to this deadline pandemic\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe current COVID-19 case surge across other parts of the country has resulted in the need to encourage citizens of Kogi State to take up responsibilities of adhering to preventive measures aimed at avoiding the spread of the virus from high burden states into Kogi State. Therefore, there is a need for both State and Non State actors to provide the needed interventions to promote the uptake of the vaccines in particular\u201d.<\/p>\n
