Let's go for the vaccination campaign against the Ebola hemorrhagic epidemic. The operation was launched in the afternoon of Tuesday, February 23, 2021, in the sub-prefecture of Gouécké (N'Zérékoré) , where the disease has reappeared recently. And, it is the prefect of N'Zérékoré who kicked off the work, reports the correspondent of Guineematin.com in the prefecture.
Shortly after the arrival of the first doses of Ebola vaccines in Gouécké, the authorities launched the vaccination campaign. The ceremony took place in the presence of the Minister of Health, Doctor General Rémy Lamah, the chairman of the logistics commission for the response to Ebola, Dr Moussa Konaté, the representative of the World Health Organization (WHO) in Guinea, Prof. Georges Alfred Ki-Zerbo, and several local authorities.
To set an example, the prefect of N'Zérékoré, Sâa Yola Tolno, was the first to be vaccinated. He was followed by the sub-prefect of Gouécké, Ibrahima Koné, local religious leaders, health workers and civil society actors from this sub-prefecture.
It should be noted, however, that this first day of the anti-Ebola vaccination campaign did not meet with great enthusiasm among the populations concerned. Despite the awareness-raising carried out in the locality, reluctance remains very strong in Gouécké.
