The Ogun state Government has announced that journalists in the state will begin to receive the AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine on Friday, March 19.
Chief of Staff to the State Governor, Kunle Somorin made this known in a statement and said that the exercise will take place at the Nigerian Union of Journalists Secretariat at Iwe-Iroyin, Abeokuta.
Somorin stated that journalists are being treated specially as frontline workers whose profession exposes them to COVID-19.
“Only journalists who have registered for the vaccine online would be attended to by health workers, from 10am to 5pm on Friday at Iwe-Iroyin.
“A print out of the online registration details would be required for record purposes,” the statement read in part.
