The Edo State Government on Monday announced plans to make it compulsory for residents of the state to take the COVID-19 vaccine and present the certificate before accessing areas of large gatherings.
Specifically, large gatherings in churches, mosques, banks, wedding or burial receptions among others would no longer be accessed without presenting the vaccine certificate from the second week of September.
The State Governor, Godwin Obaseki, disclosed this at the Government House in Benin City, while flagging off the second phase of the COVID-19 vaccination exercise.
