They claimed to be working with WHO but came through a maternity center in another town close to us. My child was born in a university teaching hospital. I some of them are workers in the maternity center. They are about ten in number.

WHO cant directly operate in nigeria....its against the law....

nigeria has its own agencies for such things....

nigerian army vaccinate people for free too....
take your child to the next military baracks near you and tell them everything....

if the university teaching hospital gave you papers,show it to the military too....

contact the teaching hospital your wife gave birth at.
You have lots to contact. Contact police DPO in your area. Contact chief medical director of any public specialist, teaching or general hospital in your area, contact your neighbourhood vigilante, contact your area boys. Dont allow anybody harrasse you in your area because of vaccination.

thatigboman:
dont allow them force anything on you. Polio vaccination is in the card issued to your wife. How old is your child? What's the name of the vaccination they are trying to force on you?
Don't let anyone put u under tension. Tell them u have their number and know their office. That if you require their service, you will call them. Report to police and keep them standby. When next those people come, all you will pack yourselves to police station, let them go and explain their mission there.
It's very simple. It's harrassment. Don't fear them. They should be the one fearing u.

Thank you for your advice.

They told me the name of the vaccine but I have forgotten it. I have already told them I will report to the police but I am waiting for their next visit. To say the truth, they frightened me.

Ayofe2028:
My fear is that I don't know their next move. They are too desperate.

I am informed about vaccinations but their attitude is suspicious and scaring. Apart from visiting us incessantly, they also came to our church today and also vow to go to my wife's place of work tomorrow. They are even reporting us to neighbours, sending them to appease us.

Thanks for your response.

I have gone back over earlier posts and can see that you are not one of the regular refuseniks, who think they know it all.
You clearly mean well for your child but simply need additional time to gather more facts.

If I can make time tomorrow, I am going to call the technical contacts identified below - to find out more about the house-to-house teams operating in your area.

Dr Boateng Koffi; Email: boatengko@who.int; Tel: +234 706 449 1772
Dr Bello Ahmed; Email: belloah@who.int; Tel: +234 803 6665 696

...Meanwhile, WHO State Coordinator, Dr Bello Ahmed pledged WHO's continued support towards achieving health security in the state. He said WHO supported with additional 195 extra vaccination teams (to the existing 1571 house-to-house teams), supportive supervision and funds for the second OBR campaign to ensure that all eligible children are immunized.

Thank you for your comment sir. I have screenshot your comment for future reference. I may need those contacts in the future.

Ayofe2028:
They said the vaccine is to immunate babies against polio virus. While I don't dispute that with them, I still don't want it for my baby, for reason best known to me.

Please let your baby take the vaccine. You don't want a crippled child, please.

descarado:
You are a dunce.

You don't want to give your chikd polio vaccine, rather, it's WHO people that are disturbing you.
Gosh, I have seen it all.

Your education is a waste.

😂

I don laugh tire.

There's something you're not telling us

Ayofe2028:
I'm based in Osogbo, Osun State. Ofatedo area to be precise.

Haba! Take the OPV for your baby. It has no negative effect on the kids. However, not taking it can be dangerous for the child as Nigeria is no longer Polio-free, thanks to the Northerners that couldn't take it when Boko boys invaded their villages.

I understand your fears but it's okay. It's for the good of your child. Meanwhile, those are not WHO people. They are Primary Health Care officials that have been employed for this sole purpose of ensuring all eligible children are immunised against this polio virus. They however have the WHO logo boldly printed on their aprons and containers because it is a WHO-sponsored exercise.

Ayofe2028:
Good evening great Nairalanders,

Between yesterday and today, hefty men and women who claimed to be agents of WHO have come to my house five times with the intention of inoculating my child. But for reason best understood by me I don't want any more vaccines for my baby. I believe the post natal vaccines she has being receiving almost every month at the hospital is enough.

But these people keep coming to my house despite several rejections. I pleaded with them to give me time to make research on the vaccine but they couldn't agree with me. They came to my house once two weeks ago, thrice yesterday and twice today (Sunday). Their incessant visits is wearing me out, becoming highly suspicious, quite embarrassing and I consider it a threat to my family.

I don't know their next move and I am scared. Please how can I stop them? I have their phone numbers and I know their office.

Can this happen in a sane society?

Show evidence of the vaccines taken so far. Your baby may not even need it.

1TrippleCee:




Polio Vaccine is good and does not in anyway cause sterility. You are exposing your baby to harm. You are posting this information in an alarmist way but forgetting to inform people what it is about. If you do not want it from them go and get it elsewhere and then show then the vacinnation card so they back off. But to deny your baby polio vacinne is evil. You eant to expose that baby to harm and ruin the babys future.


I'm a medical practictioner. I do not agree with their methods but you are not right either

chairman, the vaccination card given to women have polio vaccination in them abi? And age of the child is stated when the injection is given abi?
If the mother is taking the child regularly to take the vaccinations at the right time, is there need for any WHO to go to woman's and enforce vaccination on the child?
If it were illiterates in rural areas where access to health care is difficult, I will understand. But the poster is very literate and living in an urban area. And the child was given birth to in a teaching hospital.
So advice him correctly not to agree to people he doesn't know from Adam to come to his house and force 'polio' vaccination on his child.

Op, let your wife take the vaccinations in the appropriate health facilities religiously.
Op, how old is your child?
Op pm your number, let me call you tomorrow. Forget all these back and forth.
Don't allow anyone harrase you in your house in the name of vaccination.

When has he become the duty of WHO to vaccinate people in Nigeria?

Ayofe2028:
If someone else had told me the same story, I would also have found it difficult to believe. I have never heard about vaccination by force. It's bad to the extent that they came to our church today and they promised to also visit my wife's place of work tomorrow.

give me your mobile number. This madness has to be stopped forthwith

DaddyJapan:


What exactly are your fears?

Are you sure you are well informed about the benefits of childhood immunization?

he said he lives in osogbo, a state capital. His wife gave birth in a teaching hospital. And his wife collected vaccination card in a nearby maternity hospital and has been vaccinating the child religiously.
Which one is if he has been taught about child vaccination? Is it not the child that has always been vaccinated? Is it the mum or the Op himself?
My initial concern was why didnt the teaching hospital give him the vaccination card, but the card is standard and can be gotten and the vaccination taken in any approved health facility.

You no get husband?
Actually they are presently giving polio vaccine, they were at our church in Port Harcourt today but the truth is, taking the vaccine is not by force and I am shocked the way you are making it look like they have pushed you to a corner. You take the decision and not them. If they push more than their luck, get some guy to flog sense into their brain. During my service year, I participated in the polio exercise and we were never told to vaccinate any child by force or against the parents wish but to tell them the advantages of the vaccine.

Ayofe2028:
Yes. Should they come once again, I will post their phone numbers here so that you people can help me talk to them. For now, I'm trying to protect their piracy.

post their vote number. Dm me your phone number. How old is your child? Do it immediate

Your neighbours are complicit... They gave them information about u..
For them to even come to ur church.
Anyways whatever vaccine they want go give ur child.. inform them u will b doing it elsewhere n not from them.
Even if u will have to do it in a private clinic.

Localemperor:
Drop their number here, let all Nairalanders take turn is calling, warning and threatening them, you can give your location ( not street address, but just the name of the town for accuracy of geographical location).

Let me drop my tribal war helmet way i dey use fight Idowu the Afo.nja ; ( make we sign truce for now, tomorrow we continue )

Its now war against WHO

Who is WHO? Who gave WHO the power to vaccinate human being.

The thing is they are coming to help your child. For you to remove the vital information on what is wrong with the child, it means there is a justifiable reason they keep coming.

Another episode on things we read on nairaland daily

The only challenge is the forceful way you say they are going about it.
If they are harrasing you up and down then something might be wrong.

Normally apart from the routine immunizations on the card sometimes there's a general imunization (most always polio vaccine though one time in 2018 it was measles vaccine ) they brought to the streets, churches, schools etc.

Here in Lagos they wear aprons, carry coolers, walk in teams of 2-3 ladies mostly, administer what they want to with your consent mark the child's hand with marker and zoom off. Immediately we see them, we know.

This one you are saying they are harassing you chasing you from pillar to post, are you sure they are approved from the health center or hospital because it's sounds strange, chasing your wife to place of work?

Are you sure you didn't sign up to participate in a study or something because it sounds so unlike the immunization people I know that move around or is osogbo style different from Lagos? Or are you exaggerating the matter?

It sounds strange, if you don't feel comfortable go to the health center. Not these days kidnappers are abound abeg, Hefty men On top what?
