Ondo state government has been drawn to  debunked rumour in circulation that a forced vaccination exercise is being conducted around schools in the State, with panicking parents withdrawing their wards from schools.

A message credited to Mr. Yemi Olowolabi, the State commissioner for Information says 

“The State Government wish to inform parents, students, teachers, school authorities and the general public that the rumour is baseless, unfounded and should be disregarded.

Real time investigation across the state has shown that none of such things exist in Ondo State.

The State Government therefore advises the public, schools, students and teachers to go about their normal activities.

Should there be any strange occurrence, the appropriate quarters should be informed immediately.”
