Governor Ikpeazu completed his dose on Sunday.
Speaking after receiving the vaccine at his lodge in Aba, Governor Ikpeazu explained that the second dose has given him the required immunity needed against COVID 19 stressing that taking it once without the second dose amounts to abuse of the drug.
He said that vaccinations are not new to outbreaks of epidemics as the vaccine is also a protection against other diseases of the same dimension.
The state Governor also stated that there is no justification for not taking the COVID 19 vaccines especially now that the scourge is active and advised the citizens to avail themselves of the opportunity now that the vaccines have arrived in the state in order to be protected as well as get the desired immunity.
Speaking on the rumored negative effect after the first dose, the governor clarified that there were no side effects hence his reason to present himself for the second dose.
