According to him, Agatu, Gwer West, Logo, Oju and Ohimini, were excluded from the immunization due to good coverage in previous immunization exercises

The Executive Secretary explained that the last schedule of tetanus immunization was in 2018 adding that women were to be given schedules to cover two years after which they would have life time immunity against tetanus.

Dr. Ageda appealed to traditional and religious leaders to encourage women to go out for vaccination for effective coverage saying mobile teams were on ground for the immunization which is free.
