Akeredolu gives workers 2-week ultimatum to receive COVID-19 vaccine

Rotimi Akeredolu, the Governor of Ondo State, has given workers a two-week ultimatum to receive the COVID-19 vaccine.

This was made known in a circular signed by the Permanent Secretary, Service Matters, Mr. O. J. Afolabi on behalf of the Head of Service, on Friday.

The circular stated that the vaccination card will henceforth be required from public Servants in order to access some facilities.

The circular read in part, “Following the outbreak of Delta Variant, a subsequent third wave of the Covid-19 pandemic, it has become imperative for government to direct all categories of public servants to take Covid-19 vaccination within two weeks from the date of this circular.”

It also charged workers on strict adherence and compliance to Covid-19 protocols.
