The National Centre for Disease Control (NCDC) has urged locals and foreigners residing in Libya to complete their Covid-19 vaccination series on the occasion of World Immunization Week.

In a Facebook statement, the NCDC said it wants to raise awareness and encourage everyone to get vaccinated to protect not only themselves but also their communities from the virus.

With the occasion falling on the last week of April, there is no better time to highlight the importance of immunization and raise awareness of the need to receive the anti-coronavirus vaccine as a means of protection against the virus and to contribute to achieving community immunity, the Centre added.

World Immunization Week is a global annual campaign driven by the World Health Organization (WHO) to raise awareness about vaccines and the right to be protected against deadly infectious diseases.
