He disclosed that the state has been training and retraining frontline healthcare workers and community healthcare givers since the outbreak of the pandemic in February, 2020.

“Our PHCs are ready and no stone will be left unturned to ensure that every Ogun resident is inoculated against the dreaded virus, even as we intensify sensitisation on the need to keep all the guidelines and protocols, like the the use of face masks, social distancing and regular washing of hands with soap and water and sanitisers at regular intervals, among others.

“The government is determined to ensure that all residents across the state have access to the vaccine in line with the guidelines of the National Primary Health Care Development Agency (NPHCDA). More doses of the vaccines are going to be made available beyond the first tranche that was given by the World Health Organization and the Presidential Task Force on COVID-19”, the CPS to the governor submitted.

Meanwhile, Governor Abiodun has ordered that the front line workers who are mostly health workers be given priority in the administration of the vaccine.

Speaking at the State Hospital, Ijaiye, Abeokuta, after the commencement of the vaccination exercise of healthcare workers, on Thursday, the Commissioner for Health, Tomi Coker said all health workers in the state would be vaccinated.

“We have started vaccinating health care workers and other staff in the State. Those who received the first dose of AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID-19 Vaccine will be receiving another dose after three months.

“Ogun is the first in the country to receive the vaccines and we have started inoculating front line healthcare workers. We have identified the State Hospitals with cold chain facilities to store the vaccines”, Coker stated.

The Commissioner said as of Wednesday, Ogun State’s COVID-19 case tally stood at over 4,495 including at least 48 deaths and more than 4,184 recoveries, adding more vaccines would be delivered to the state when another batch of the 16 million doses of AstraZeneca/Oxford COVID-19 vaccine procured by the Federal Government arrive the country.

The Permanent Secretary, Hospitals Management Board, Nafiu Aigoro described the vaccines as very safe, adding that healthcare workers and members of the public should avail themselves of the opportunity to be vaccinated.

The Chief Medical Director of State Hospital Ijaye, Kayode Oladenide after receiving the vaccine said, ”2020 had been a dreadful year but life would get back to normal in the coming months. Now it is easier to be more efficient in caring for our patients, having received the vaccine”.
