The Executive Director and Chief Executive Officer, National Primary Health Care Development Agency, Dr Faisal Shuaib, has lamented that the South-East region is lagging behind in COVID-19 vaccination.

Shuaib, who spoke on Wednesday during the South-East zone Primary Health Care and COVID-19 Vaccination Review meeting in Enugu, said the region was projected to vaccinate about 100,000 persons per day, but had an abysmal turnout of about 6,000 per day.

He, however, warned executive secretaries of the state primary health care development agencies to stop sidelining the ministries of health in activities that concern COVID-19 vaccination and childhood immunisation. He urged the people of the South-East to rise up and show leadership in COVID-19 vaccination like they had always done in such issues like childhood immunisation and other preventable diseases vaccination.

“But we also know that because of the permeation of social media, especially in the South-East, where there’s a high rate of literacy. People look at the information going on on social media and get distracted.
