The Catholic bishop of Awka Diocese, Most Reverend Paulinus Ezeokafor, has beckoned on Ndi Anambra to visit the designated health centres and get themselves vaccinated, as he doused the fear of possible side effect of vaccine as expressed in some quarters.
Bishop Ezeokafor who stated this, on Monday, at St. Andrew’s Parish, Adazi Nnukwu, in Anaocha Local Government Area of Anambra State while delivering a homily to mark this year’s Chrism Mass/Cathedraticum Celebration stressed the need for people to harken to the call for COVID-19 vaccination by the government, acknowledging that no vaccine was entirely free from side effects, adding that the vaccine would help in no small measure in checkmating the spread of the virus.
He stated that even though there were elements of insincerity on the side of the government, people should ignore that aspect and focus on that which, he said, would better their living and save them from contracting the disease.
Bishop Ezeokafor who said that COVID-19 was still very much around and deadly, admonished Ndi Anambra to keep to COVID-19 protocols by maintaining social distancing, washing their hands regularly and also wearing facemasks at all times.
He added that people should not allow the rumours making the rounds that the vaccine could be injurious to their health to discourage and stop them from getting vaccinated.
Speaking on the essence of the Chrism Mass cum Cathedraticum Celebration, Ezeokafor, charged Christians to always support their priests spiritually, physically and materially, saying that as followers of Christ, they should understand that priests are Christ’s representatives on earth and deserved to be encouraged and protected.
