Prof Malik who stated this while speaking with newsmen recently said the immunisation exercise commenced in the state on Wednesday, May 17.

Malik implored all prospective pilgrims to converge at the Permanent site of the Hajj Camp, Olodo, Ibadan, early for the exercise.

Malik said that the inoculation exercise would be another opportunity for those who could not attend the screening exercise, stressing “health officials will be available again to attend to them.”

He said that the exercise was one of the compulsory requirements and procedures which must be fulfilled by each of the intending pilgrims before embarking on the pilgrimage to the Holy land of Mecca.

“Different inoculation vaccines would be given to them in order to protect them against Polio, Yellow Fever, Meningitis and others contagious infections in accordance with the International requirements for travel.
