500 personnel of the
Zonal and Bauchi State Sector Command of Federal Road Safety Corps (FRSC) have
been vaccinated against Yellow fever which is rampaging as a killer disease at
the moment.
This development is
following the recent outbreak of the disease in Bauchi State which has so far
led to the death of over 15 people mostly from two LGAs of Alkaleri and
Tafawa-Balewa.
The vaccination
exercise was carried out by the Bauchi State Primary Health Care Development
Agency (BSPHCDA), on the FRSC Zonal and Bauchi State Sector Command officials
on in the state.
Speaking shortly after
he was vaccinated, the Zonal Commander, of FRSC, Assistant Corps Marshall, Imoh
Etuk, commended the Bauchi State Ministry of Health for the gesture and noted
that it will go a long way in protecting men of the Corps from being infected
with the killer disease.
