The Concepts

• Bayelsa State is located in the South-South region of Nigeria, which is in the core Niger Delta Region. This region is a low-lying plain riddled with an intricate system of water channels through which the Niger finds its way into the ocean. It is a terrain that is scarred by a network of tributaries, creeks and rivers. Last year, a majority of the state capital and some Local Government Areas, as well as some communities were overrun by flood. Thus, making increasing Covid-19 coverage in the state a major challenge.
• M-RITE’s specific objective (2) in Bayelsa State includes implementing COVID-19 vaccination service delivery through the 30 mobile teams in line with SCALES 3.0, specifically through COVID-19 vaccination to targeted Lectures and Students at selected Universities.
• COVID-19 vaccination of Lecturers and Students is a high priority activity in accordance with the WHO’s prioritization of groups for COVID-19 vaccination and Universities in Nigeria provide an opportunity to mass vaccinate undergraduates, their lecturers, and the non-academic staff especially after the prolonged ASUU strike.

COVID-19 vaccination of Lecturers, students, and non-academic staff of 5 universities in Bayelsa State include:

• Sensitization and COVID-19 vaccination of teachers, students, and non-academic staff of Niger Delta University in Bayelsa State.
• Sensitization and COVID-19 vaccination of teachers, students, and non-academic staff of Federal University Otuoke in Bayelsa State.
• Sensitization and COVID-19 vaccination of teachers, students, and non-academic staff of Nigerian Law School in Bayelsa State.
• African University Toru-orua
• College of Education Sagbama
