The state police boss, who said she didn’t feel any pain, assured that, it was safe and better for the police to take it.
According to her, “the police are on the frontline; we meet people every day. It will go a long way in protecting us.”
“Everybody should come out and take it. I’ve done so for about 15 minutes now and I’m not feeling any pain.”
Onadeko said further that the officer in charge of medical matters was to ensure that all officers and men in the metropolis, local government areas and outposts get vaccinated.
She added that those outside the metropolis would take the vaccine in their local government areas.
