Sanniquellie, Nimba County – A group of diaspora Liberians who are natives of Nimba County have launched a campaign to augment the effort of County Health Team to ensure the COVID-19 Vaccines reach people living in the remotest parts of the county. Since then, more than 9,000 residents of the county have taken the J&J, according to the County Health Officer, Dr. Nettie Joe in a rough estimate back in September. However, the hurdle is being addressed, thanks to the intervention of the group, “Diaspora Nimbaians Fighting Covid-19 in Nimba County’. The group donated 40 bags (25kg) of rice to the Nimba County Health Team as a ‘pat on the back’ to carry-on with the vaccination process. But following the roll out, each of the 75 facilities now has a permanent site”, Dr. Joe told told reporters in Sanniquellie.
