Presidency Allays Fears On Buhari's Health Condition After COVID-19 Vaccination


 Senior Special Assistant to the President on Media & Publicity,  Garba Shehu, has allayed fears of Nigeria’s citizens over the health of Muhammadu Buhari after the president received a jab of COVID-19 vaccine.

The president’s chief physician, Suhayb Rafidadi, administered the vaccine at about 11.52 a.m. on the president. The vice president was also vaccinated by his physician, Nicholas Audifferen, immediately after the president received his dose.

The vaccination process was streamed on live television to encourage other Nigerians to accept the vaccines.

However, in a statement released on Saturday evening, Garba Shehu confirmed that the president has carried on as normal after receiving the vaccine.

Garba said: In response to press enquiries, I like to assure all citizens and to dispel fears and misconceptions about the safety of the vaccine administered on President Muhammadu Buhari and the Vice President, Professor Yemi Osinbajo, SAN earlier this morning.

“After he got his jab, the President felt normal and went about doing his job. If there are side effects that follow, we will be open about that but so far there is nothing of a side effect, serious or mild on the President. He is carrying on as normal.

“We hope this will help to send a strong message among the people, especially those grappling with hesitancy about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine.”
