In this concluding part of the investigation on COVID-19 vaccine and its cold chain movement, JULIANA FRANCIS looks at challenges confronting health workers in the movement of the vaccine to rural communities in Nigeria
Bayelsa State
There are 93 PHCs in the eight local government areas of Bayelsa State. The state is mostly surrounded by water. Indeed, this is one of the challenges vaccinators will face in the attempt to go to rural communities. According to residents, the most dangerous security threats in the state are sea pirates. The pirates rob, kidnap, kill and terrorise boat or canoe passengers.
In this global pandemic era, health workers, as the apex frontline workers, are supposed to be first vaccinated with the AstraZeneca vaccine against COVID-19. JULIANA FRANCIS, in this report, discovered that some health workers, who are expected to vaccinate others, are hesitant to be vaccinated. There is anxiety that this hesitancy may affect the target of nationwide vaccination in Nigeria.
A volunteer staff with a Primary healthcare centre, located in Azuba Bashiyi, Shabu Development Area of Lafia Local government, Goselle Manya, 31, became ill after being vaccinated with the AstraZeneca Vaccine on March 22. Manya is believed to be among the first set of health workers to have taken the vaccine.
