She enjoined education and religious institutions and markets to grant access to their facilities within the period slated to administer the vaccine.

The UNICEF Consultant on Communication for Development in Osun, Dr. Godwin Olawale, said the prevalence of the virus was the reason for the vaccination.

According to him, the virus had recorded 50 per cent fatality rate in the country, adding that Yellow Fever was constituting a threat to the well-being of Nigerians.

He said the people between the stipulated ages were more prone to contracting the virus, urging residents to partake in the coming exercise.

Olawale listed ways to preventing the virus to include: sleeping under long-lasting insecticide nets and putting on long sleeves cloth while going to bed, adding that  vaccination remained the most effective way to protect one against Yellow Fever
