Adeboye stated:
“I have never said to you don’t be vaccinated, you have never heard that from me. Rather than living in fear or doubt, get vaccinated. If you believe that getting vaccinated would put your mind at rest, then go ahead.
“Daddy are you saying that you too could be vaccinated? If there are nations in the world that say I can not come to preach the gospel there because of vaccination, I will do anything for Jesus Christ.
"If vaccination is going to hinder me from doing the work that God has called me to do, if they asked me to get vaccinated 100 times, I would be vaccinated."
He told his members to never say he told them not to get vaccinated. According to him, vaccination will not be a hindrance to his doing the work of God.
Adeboye add that if he is asked me to get vaccinated 100 times, he would do so.
COVID-19 vaccines administered in Nigeria
In an earlier report by Legit.ng, the federal government debunked claims that the government of the United Kingdom does not recognise various COVID-19 vaccines used in Nigeria.
The executive director of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA), Faisal Shuaib, said contrary to this claim, the UK government recognises all vaccines administered in Nigeria.
The NPHCDA boss said the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine, also known as COVISHIELD that is used in Nigeria was approved by the UK regulatory body (MHRA), other stringent regulatory authorities and the World Health Organisation.
He further assured Nigerians that all the vaccines used in Nigeria are donations from the UK Government, the Canadian Government and the United States through the COVAX facility.
