Paynesville – Several residents of Paynesville are hesitant about adhering to calls by health authorities to be vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine, citing lack of sustained awareness about the benefits of being inoculated. Zazay claims that “lack of proper awareness about the vaccination campaign” is casting doubts in the minds of many Liberians. Despite the awareness about the Covid-19 vaccination on local radio stations, some say they have heard little about the process. Lawrance Dayougar, another resident of Paynesville, added that there is an increasing need for a nationwide awareness campaign to counter misinformation about the vaccine. And the WHO added that COVID-19 vaccines are safe, and “getting vaccinated will help protect you against developing severe COVID-19 disease and dying from COVID-19”.
