Oklahoma Governor says no to booster shot

The governor did get the Johnson & Johnson vaccine

OKLAHOMA CITY — Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt says he doesn’t plan to get a COVID-19 booster shot.

A reporter asked Gov. Stitt Monday if he planned to get a vaccine booster.

“No, probably not,” responded Stitt.

Stitt’s stance on getting a booster comes even though the state’s public health agency and medical community are encouraging Oklahomans to get vaccinated for COVID-19 or to get a booster if they’ve already been vaccinated.

The Republican governor says he’s “perfectly healthy” and that his doctor hasn’t told him he needs it.

Stitt has been vocally opposed to President Joe Biden’s vaccine mandate.
