According to reports from Starr FM, the Health directorate estimated to vaccinate about fifty thousand, one hundred and four (50,104) people in the district by the end of this year, however, only 282 have fully been vaccinated since the inception of the vaccination exercise.

Also, the 820 residents who took the first jab and are supposed to take the second jab have vehemently refused to take the jab due to the misconception about the vaccine.

Speaking to the reporter of Starr FM, the District Health Director, Esther Dua Oyinka, stated some of the “awkward” reasons why the residents are refusing to take the jab. According to her, one of the reasons is the misinformation that the ruling New Patriotic Party government wants to use the vaccine to change the minds of the electorate in the district to vote for the NPP in 2024 and subsequent elections.

“Some of the rumors are that if you are a man and you take the vaccine you will become impotent which is a falsehood. Others are saying if you are a lady, you will cease menstruation and you cannot give birth any longer, others say if you take it you are going to die that it will push you to your early grave because you will experience some funny signs and symptoms in your body.”

“Even some are saying it is the government that has put in certain things to make up for the vaccine to vaccinate them so that it will change their minds from voting for any other party except the sitting party,” She lamented.
