Governor Adegboyega Oyetola of Osun State has received his
first jab of the Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
The Governor received his first jab together with the deputy
governor, Benedict Alabi, with their spouses.
Earlier in a message on his verified Facebook page, the
Governor stated that he took delivery of a total of 64,240 doses of the
Oxford-AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines from the Federal Government on Tuesday
evening.
He had also disclosed that he will be vaccinated today after
some frontline medical personnel must have had their own first dose of the
vaccine.
While commending the federal government and the Presidential
Task Force (PTF) on COVID-19 for their efforts in ensuring that the nation was
free of the pandemic, Oyetola urged citizens and residents of the State to
register and present themselves for the vaccination.
The State government also revealed that it was prepared to
both preserve and administer the vaccines, having trained about 300 health
workers for the vaccination exercise, adding that it had also installed storage
facilities (cold chain) across the 332 wards in the State.
The Osun State
government received the vaccines at about 7:11pm on Tuesday evening.
