Press Release
The Nigerian
Medical Association, Imo
State, wishes to inform
the General public that whereas immunization is necessary for the prevention
of some killer diseases especially in childhood, there is no officially
approved immunisation programme going on in the state
presently.
As a result, parents and teachers are advised not to submit their
wards to persons or group of persons for any purported form of
immunisation.
This is on the backdrop of alarm being raised about "forced immunization" in some places in the state on Wednesday 11th October, 2017.
Similarly, The Nigerian Medical Association Imo State advices the general public to stay away from all forms of "free medical programmes" that do not have the approval of Nigerian Medical Association, while we keenly monitor events unfold.
Dr Dike Victor O.
Secretary, Nigerian Medical Association (NMA)
