  1. This is a welcome development. The government should please put up some measures to monitor some of the health centres in Nigeria because they have started taking advantage of some workers who's organization demand covid 19 vaccination card collecting money before given them the vaccine, is not a good one at all. I observed this in some centres in festac Lagos. The health centre in 41 road and that of mother and child first gate festac town

  2. Please go and monitor health centre in 41 road festac and that of mother and child first gate mazamaza festac. They are demanding for money before given the covid vaccine, especially if they know u have interview or any job related activities demanding the vaccination card 10 thousand naira or they would say the vaccine is not available. This is very wrong
