Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State, has said there
is no need to vaccinate 20 to 22 million residents of the state against
COVID-19.
Sanwo-Olu disclosed this while featuring on Channels
Television programme, Sunday Politics.
The governor also disclosed that his administration was
engaging some companies in the production of COVID-19 vaccines for residents of
the state.
He said: “It is important for me to make this. We don’t have to vaccinate the 20 or 22 million population that we have. The plan is to ensure that there is a herd immunity and that typically speaks about 50 to 60 percent of your population, that is the kind of target that you really meet.
“We have started a conversation with some of the vaccine
manufacturers. Pfizer for example, I have made contact with them, Johnson and
Johnson are not out yet, the Moderna have written to us and we have written
back to them.”
