My reason for creating this post is cause it was said by NTA international in a news yesterday that according to the NCDC, many citizens across the nation are not aware of this recent disease that could be contacted by merely coming in contact with someone who already contacted the disease, I believe some people here might have heard of it but since the government through NCDC are currently creating awareness, i decided to bring it to the notice of our brothers here to be careful and report suspected cases maybe from neighbours or direct relatives to the nearest health center in their areas.
Make I use this thought-provoking topic wey you create, take advise many of our members here wey either na travellers wey they do travel or get family members wey they into Inter-state travels or that travel outside the country, to be on guard against the contracting of this Monkey pox disease outbreak and to try to get themselves vaccinated, the earliest. I been see news where them talk say European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control been caution countrypeople wey dey into traveling make them take Monkey pox vaccine especially if them know say them they travel go eastern part of Africa where the disease outbreak was discovered.
According to WHO, the disease was discovered in DR Congo and from there e begin spread until e reach countries like Rwanda, Kenya, Burundi and Uganda. Now E don enter some part of Nigeria too which calls for more caution from the side of the individuals who deal with public and the responsibility of the government wey suppose spread more information about these things.
As I speak to you so, Monkey pox outbreak no be something wey don loud for the country, e fit be say na because say them talk say e no dangerous like Covid-19 or Ebola virus disease, maybe na why e never they very popular among people yet. But them be talk say e somehow they easy to contract too because just by touching touching with the patient, person fit pack am including through sexual engagement.
I sabi say the vaccine don they available and na just two dose them WHO recommend give people. Them talk say the disease na like small pox, so the vaccine wey go cure small pox, na him go cure am. I sha know my country and the kind slow and relaxed government wey we get, this na why e good make we begin they enlighten ourselves on the risks attached to the disease and what's needful from onset to prevent the communicating of the disease.
