The Rivers State Government has said that residents yet to get vaccinated against the covid-19 virus are endangering the lives of fellow citizens.
Speaking during a live broadcast on Monday, the state governor said it has been proven that vaccinations are saving lives.
Wike, stated that daily figures released from the Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, shows that both the transmission and death rates have increased in the last two weeks.
This, he said is due to the fact that residents and visitors have failed to comply with all existing covid-19 protocols.
He explained that there will be a serious health disaster of profound consequences if residents and visitors continue to behave as if the pandemic no longer exists or impotent in Rivers State.
The governor, therefore appealed to Rivers residents to help protect themselves and their loved ones and the rest of the citizens by visiting health centres in the 23 Local Government Areas of the State to get the jab.
