The Maritime Workers Union of Nigeria (MWUN) has urged its members to make themselves available for COVID 19 vaccination, even as the union stated that doing so will stem the spread of the pandemic.

The MWUN in a press statement signed by its President General; Comrade Adewale Adeyanju on Wednesday, affirmed the efficacy of the vaccine.

In the statement, which was accompanied by photographs of its leadership being vaccinated assured that the union’s leaders have not experienced any negative effect as a result of taking the vaccine. The union assured that the vaccine is safe for use.

The union lamented that since the outbreak of the COVID – 19 pandemic as declared by the World Health Organization (WHO) in March 2020, the disease has claimed over 3 million lives globally, with over 114 million cases being confirmed by laboratory tests as at March 2021.

According to the MWUN, the COVID 19 vaccination offers a way to transit out of the pandemic and restore society to normalcy. It added that the numbers of those affected has translated into hundreds of thousands of people in the Nigeria context as the pandemic has impacted almost every facet of life, causing global economies to stall, changing the way we work and affecting relationship with people, family and stretching health care systems to the limit.

It added that: “In spite of the seeming grimness of the situation, scientific research fortunately gave rise to the production of vaccines which are 94 – 95% effective, and these figures have proven true in clinical and trial studies of those at high risk and the elderly.

“Covid – 19 vaccination offers a way to transit out of the pandemic and restore society to normalcy. Unfortunately, a lot of people question the efficacy of the vaccines which has resulted in a negative public opinion on the efficiency of administering it – the vaccines. Nothing is more far from the truth as scientific based reports from world class and reliable sources indicate that the vaccine is safe for use”.

Affirming its belief in the vaccine, the statement added that: “To affirm our trust in the efficacy of the vaccine the entire leadership of the Union have been vaccinated and have not experienced any negative effect as a result of taking the vaccine. We are therefore persuaded that the vaccines are safe for use, and in this wise, we urge that every worker make “himself and or herself available for vaccination as this is the sure way to stem the spread of the pandemic”.
