The Bayelsa State government has renewed its call for residents of the state to take the COVID-19 vaccine as it is safe and effective, appealing to religious bodies to help address the myths and misconceptions concerning the administration of the vaccine. The town hall meeting was aimed at addressing the myths and misconceptions concerning the administration of the COVID-19 vaccine in the state and nation at large. Dr Igwele noted that Bayelsa State is one of the states with the highest resistance to the vaccine, adding that to achieve herd immunity against the virus, more people need to take the vaccine. She said out of the 20,000 only 6000 have received the second dose vaccination which has ranked Bayelsa as the lowest in the country.
