Nigeria dismisses fears of microchip, anti-DNA in COVID-19 vaccines
Published
The federal government has dismissed speculations that COVID-19 vaccines coming to Nigeria contained microchips and would alter human genes.
Faisal Shuaib, Executive Director, National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), spoke on Monday at the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19 national briefing.
He assured the medication would not only protect people but trigger an immune response that would protect the body against the virus.
“There currently seems to be growing vaccine hesitancy and this is largely caused by misinformation leading to mistrust, doubts, suspicions and conspiracy theories,” he said.
Shuaib urged the public to disregard such representation from unverified sources and listen to the medical experts for confirmed information.
