Ekpenyong told the News Agency of Nigeria in an interview on Monday in Calabar that eligible adults who took the vaccine provided themselves voluntarily for the vaccination.
She said that such reports were capable of instigating fear in the minds of people in the state. Ekpenyong said that already, the state had begun the second phase vaccination drive and have been recording an impressive turnout among health workers, frontline workers and strategic leaders who had been presenting themselves for vaccination.
“The news is not only misleading but exaggerated by antivaxers who are bent on discreditng the state’s efforts towards attaining a 100 per cent vaccination” she said. The D-G explained that the effects were not perculiar to the COVID-19 vaccines, but all other vaccines for children, pregnant women as well as adults.
