Following a meeting of the Yangoru District Development Authority, Maru announced their decision to ensure vaccination remains voluntary within the district.
“I traveled through my district in the last three weeks and nearly all our people that we spoke to have rejected COVID-19 vaccination and that is ordinary village people, councilors and presidents. This is evidenced by only 850 people in our district being vaccinated. This represents only 1% of our people. I must respect my people’s constitutional and fundamental human rights of choice to freedom.”
