#TodayInNCDC

We held a send forth ceremony for our post-baccalaureate interns.

For us at Nigeria Centre for Disease Control, young people are integral to the work we do now and for the future, as we aim to build a generation of 'disease detectives'

Over the last three months, the #NCDCInterns have immensely studied and contributed across various departments to achieve our mandate of protecting the health of Nigerians.

#TakeResponsibility; protect those around you from getting infected with #COVID19

✅Wear a face mask in public
✅Practice hand/respiratory hygiene
✅Maintain physical distance
✅ Get vaccinated
