You may not know it, but COVID-19 is still lurking out there. Getting vaccinated, with very safe and efficacious vaccines, is a very smart idea especially for frontline health and community workers, teachers, students aged 12-17, and the elderly. So, what are you waiting for?
If you’re in the Greater Banjul Area, watch out for the COVID-19 vaccination caravan led by your favorite comedy stars @BrightStarsGm. Laugh😂 dance💃🏿 and get vaccinated💉.
This campaign is supported by @MofaJapan_en, @USAID and @UNICEF.
"It is the first of its kind that we receive from a single partner such a donation" - Minister of Health Dr Ahmadou Lamin Samateh.
