Katsina State Governor Aminu Bello Masari; his deputy, Mannir Yakubu and the State Chief Judge, Justice Musa Abubakar, on Thursday received the COVID-19 vaccine jabs at the Government House in Katsina.
The vaccine was also administered to some of the governor’s family members as well as commissioners, special advisers and representatives of frontline health workers.
Shortly after receiving the vaccine, Governor Masari noted that the vaccine has been certified to be safe and effective by the National Agency for Food and Drug Administration and Control (NAFDAC).
