Dr. Monsurat Adeleke, the Permanent Secretary of Lagos State Health District III, stated this during an enlightenment session on the health benefits of the COVID-19 vaccine and the flag-off ceremony of the administration of COVID-19 vaccines for residents of Epe and environs on Monday.
The ceremony is part of the sensitisation and enlightenment programmes of the Lagos Health District III to promote community health.
While correcting the notion that the war against COVID-19 was over, Adeleke disclosed that there is an increasing new wave of the pandemic, hence the need for the populace to be alerted.
