Africans are well known to be overprotective of their lives; they do not want to engage in things that will cost them their life, and they are known to run away or avoid things that threaten their existence.

When it comes to Vaccination, there is distrust because of how the government treats the citizens, no good roads, no good hospitals, the basic amenities are not well provided for, yet when it comes to vaccination, the government takes it so seriously and wants all the citizens to take part in it...
What if it is a way to depopulate the country? They can't be trusted, which is one of the reasons many people refrain from getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
Social media made it easier to spread rumours, during Covid19 vaccine, there was a rumour that one of the top richest men in the world funded the production of the vaccines and the intent was to reduce the world population, the rumour spread like a wild fire and even if it is not true, who would want to risk it after reading or hearing such a thing, I heard about it too and didn't take a chance at it.
I heard that the vaccines were also made compulsory for people travelling out of the country, which further strengthens my decision not to take it because why force people to take it, but then I understand better now and know they are not planning to depopulate the country, they have the best interest of humanity in heart and they only trying to make sure our immune system is strong enough to fight the virus.

Vaccination is very important, and anyone against it is not ready to be a parent cos our babies are to take many vaccines which protect them against different kinds of diseases like Tuberculosis, chicken pox, measles and many others. Preaching against such vaccines or spreading rumours that the government is trying to reduce the natality rate will result in what they are trying to avoid if people believe the rumour and refuse to get their kids vaccinated.
I have taken some vaccines in the past, but I don't even know what they were meant for. Health practitioners landed in my school and started injecting the students in their arms. No way to escape because they keep records of students who have taken the vaccines. You need to see how students were crying out of fear that it would be painful, but immediately they give them, they stop crying lol.
If there is a need to get vaccinated now, I will take it as long as there is no bad intent behind it. If any rumour spreads about the vaccine, I will take my time to observe before I make a decision on either taking or rejecting it.
