An additional 1,000 of the second doses of AstraZeneca arrived in Lofa a fortnight ago, county’s health promotion focal person at the level of the County Health Team, William Sherman, told newsmen recently in Voinjama. “Health authorities in the county are designing a risk communication strategy to facilitate its localized roll-out of the J&J vaccines across the county. “We should have launched it last week Friday, but we had some constraints and we are also concluding the development of our risk communication strategy,” Sherman said. Though some residents expressed frustration over the slow pace of the vaccination process in the county, they are willing to take the jabs when the health team finally begins the process. The population in Lofa has begun to understand that the vaccines will help boost their immune system against COVID-19.
