Kairoseki77: Why not ask a doctor in their community to oversee the distribution of the vaccines?

A GOOD POINT BUT,
most communities dnt hv indigenous doctors in d north.....and these are d people dt wud hv helpd alot in d campaign, u can count d numba of drs in a state(majority are even of southern origin).unlike in d south whr evry hse hv a dr

berem: ....and what do you think is their reason for rejecting the vaccine? Do they have any genuine reason other than some Islamic clerics who brainwash them and tell them lies about the adverse effects of taking a vaccine. Seems you've not been following the news lately.

then thy shld warn or if possible arrest d people misleadin em....and not to arrest d people who refused vaccination bcs thr leader told thm it causes sub-fertility, would u take anytin u beliv wil reduce ur fertility?
these people hv a beliv, dt beliv must be uprooted for d polio to be eradicated........dt can not be done by intimidatin dem

thy once welcmd a drug by pfizer, thr children died......put ur sef in thr shoes, u wil undstnd thr skepticism abt receivn vaccin en masse

Lilimax: I'm not a medical doctor, but a situation whereby I may not be able to move about freely- Na die be that !

Actually u hv a point....d polio enlitenmnt campaign ws not carried out effectivly..these people nid to be educated in a simple language dt thy can undstnd...often atimes these people jst see polio wrkers loiterin arnd puttin smtin into d mouth of thr children.....thy dnt even knw wht d tin is,,,,,,thr r a few who refuse due to religios/traditionl belivs (u cant blame em,its thr beliv, we ol hv belivs)

Lilimax: Have you tried to find out the reason why they are rejecting the Polio vaccines .
You are saying this because your have you body complete and intact...?
Why are they endangering the lives of these innocent children to Pilo ? They should be jailed
Polio is very deadly and abounds in the north. Little wonder we have lots of disabled children over there.
Polio vaccination as we were told helps in eradicating these disabilities caused by Polio virus.

im surprised dt d people commentin here hv a little knwledg of polio,
oga POLIO AFFECT D QUALITY OF LIFE OF AN INDIVIDUAL, BUT ITS NT DEADLY.....!!!!

Lilimax: Ndi Awusa nkea ?
They should be dealt with severly because they are endangering the lives of these innocent children .
Polio is very deadly...?

its not deadly sista, its a morbidity problm not a mortality problm!

its their rite to refuse any medical care they are not sure of.............thy need more enlitenemnt and education on d benefits of d vaccination not arrest and intimidation by sm id'iot pholice

Kslib: Does the bolded mean 'You are married but can still have a crush"?

The federal government is now in a
difficult
situation as medical doctors, against
whom
other health workers' ongoing industrial
action is indirectly targeted, have
threatened
to embark on their own strike should the
government accede to the demands of the
Joint Health Sectors' Unions (JOHESU).
This came as JOHESU and the Nigeria
Labour Congress (NLC) have said the
refusal of the Minister of Health, Prof.
Onyebuchi Chukwu, to abide by the ruling
of
the National Industrial Court(NIC) over
some of the issues in contention was
responsible for the strike.
Among other things, JOHESU is
demanding
having consultants among their non-
medical staff members, the payment of
specialist, call duty/shift and other
professional allowances as enjoyed by
doctors.
But in a statement yesterday, the Nigeria
Medical Association (NMA), said while it
had nothing against the right of "any group
or individual" to determine how best to
achieve its objectives, the doctors would
down tools if government succumbed to
blackmail and intimidation.
The statement signed by Dr. Osahon
Enabulele and Dr Akpufuoma Pemu,
President and Secretary-General
respectively, said: "We affirm that no
group
or union has monopoly over the use of
strike actions in seeking the actualisation
of
its objectives.
"Therefore, the NMA shall not hesitate to
use similar means if government fails to
uphold the rule of law and succumbs to
blackmail and intimidation."
Meanwhile, the Minister of Labour and
Productivity; Chief Emeka Wogu, on behalf
of the federal government yesterday,
summoned a meeting of both parties to
seek a quick resolution to end the strike.
The Secretary General of the Senior Staff
Association of Universities, Teaching
Hospitals, Research Institutes and
Associated Institutions ( SSAUTHRAI), Mr.
Moshood Akinade, speaking for JOHESU,
said since his assumption of office,
Chukwu
had pursued only the interest of the NMA
to
the detriment of other health professionals.
He chronicled the events and incidences
which eventually culminated last week’s
declaration of an indefinite strike by the
union.
