The Coordinator of the Bo District COVID-19 Emergency Response Centre, David Fortune has said due to the large turn-out of the people for the COVID-19 Vaccination at the Bo Government hospital, they have decided to open other vaccination center at the DICOVERC office in Bo.
Speaking to this medium at the DICOVERC office in Bo, Mr Fortune said that the Bo Government hospital is overwhelmed following the announcement that Vaccination card should be produced before entering into public building.
He said that they want to ensure that people within the age bracket of 30 take the jab that is why they have added another center.
“We are encouraging people to come and take the vaccine. It is free.” he said.
Speaking to this medium, residents of Bo thanked the DICOVERC office for creating another center to access the vaccine.
Sulaiman Rogers said it would have been difficult for me to take the jab if another center was not created, adding that a lot of people would now take the jab
Jannet Bangura said more centres should be created for those in the rural areas as they too would want to take the jab particularly those above 30 years.
“It should not only be limited to the urban areas” she said, adding that the children should be taken into consideration as they are also vulnerable to the disease.
