Following the spike in the numbers of the COVID-19 cases across the country and particularly in Kano, the Federal Government has warned citizens to be wary of the ‘COVID-19 vaccine’ being sold by some people in Kano State. The Minister of Information and Culture, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, gave the warning on Tuesday in Abuja, at the 16th joint national briefing of the Presidential Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19.
According to him, the vaccine, which is yellow in colour, should be ignored as it has not been certified by the appropriate authorities. “You must ignore the vaccine being hawked in Kano as COVID-19 vaccine. It has not been certified by anybody. Please don’t patronise it,” Mohammed said. He added that a recent opinion poll has shown that 99 percent of Nigerians are aware of COVID-19 and that his ministry and its agencies have ramped up their public enlightenment and advocacy campaign to continue to reach Nigerians with information on how they can protect themselves and avoid contracting the disease.
