“Society is made up of religious, cultural issues. And religious leaders, some religious sects do not believe that people need to take (the) vaccine, so that penetrates to society. Some believe that this vaccine is conspiracy theories of maybe the developed countries want to depopulate us, cause sub-fertility and infertility. Some believe that the vaccines are extraneous bodies; they could cause a lot of issues in your body; they will shorten your lifespan. So, it’s about cultural and both religious beliefs.”

STORYLINE:
Nigeria has begun implementing a malaria vaccination programme among children, in an effort to ease the world’s highest burden of the mosquito-borne disease, which last year killed some 200,000 people.
The vaccination schedule targets young children, with the first dose administered at five months.
One of the first areas where the programmes is being rolled out is the southern state of Bayelsa, which has one of the country’s highest rates of malaria.
Rebecca Godspower, who brought her six-month-old baby to a clinic for the vaccination after having twice treated him for malaria, told the AP she was happy her child could finally receive the shot.
"Now that there’s a vaccine for the malaria, at least I’m happy, I am glad that stress won’t be there again,” she said.
