Taking the voluntary responsibility yesterday to the Churchhill Primary Health Care Centre, Port Harcourt, Rotary President, Steady Idisi who led the Rotarians said, “We are committed to seeing that the initial 152,000 vaccine dozes allocated for Rivers for immunization of health workers, and sundry front line stakeholders are well administered, and none wasted.

“Our outreach in this monitoring has also been very gainful in some other ways, including the awareness from primary health stakeholders that a second batch of vaccines would soon arrive for broader administration, particularly to persons from age 50 and above.”
