Samani Bitem has just been vaccinated at Sogbossito Stadium, in Lomé, the Togolese capital. He is a little over 30 years old and for him it was important because he wants to protect himself and others against coronavirus: “If I was vaccinated, it is to avoid transmission or contamination of Covid-19.”
Since last Monday, eight vaccinodromes have been installed in Lomé and others in the regional capitals. The only conditions for access to this vaccination are to be 30 years old and to have registered on the internet platform. What many do not. The nurses at the vaccination centers are there to help them. “We ask the population to recruit before they come, but a large number of people fail to do so. The team is there to help them, so in the end we do not have many worries “, testifies Gbokri Mawussi, state hygiene assistant and responsible for vaccinations at Kégué Stadium.
More than one month after the injection of the first doses, the other comes slowly. Many people wonder then, but the Scientific Committee wants to be reassuring, according to one of its members, Professor Didier Ekuoevi: According to the latest data, there should be at least 12 weeks between the first and second dose. ”
In addition to the AstraZeneca vaccine, which is currently being administered, Togo has placed other orders that should be available as soon as possible. The goal is to achieve 60% collective immunity to protect its population.
