JAMB Blows Hots, Says No Staff Would Be Allowed Entry Without Covid-19 Vaccination

No staff and visitors would be allowed into offices nationwide without evidence of full vaccination, the Joint Admissions and Matriculation Board (JAMB) has resolved said.

In line with this entry protocol, staff and visitors or clients are to present acceptable evidence which is: COVID-19 Vaccination Card, any identification card connecting the holder to the vaccination card, preferably the National Identity Card; Driver’s Licence or International Passport.

This stipulation is to ensure, among others, that staff or visitors do not present vaccination cards that belong to other individuals.

JAMB in its bulletin said from available statistics from relevant agencies, the virus is spreading like wildfire, hence the clarion call for all to be vigilant, observe all protocols, and for institutions, be it public or private, to adopt relevant protocols to nip the spread of the virus in the bud.

“As a proactive agency, the Board is adopting this protocol in the light of its heightened preparations for the commencement of the 2022 UTME/DE Registration exercise.

“We implore all not to be lulled into a false sense of security as pertains to the COVID-19 pandemic as the increasingly dangerous dimension the virus is assuming should be a source of concern to all, especially with the emergence of a more-virulent Omicron variant.”
