The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has unveiled a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination drive in light of escalating infections across healthcare facilities.
Scheduled from May 4 to May 10, 2024, the campaign aims to curb the surge in cases, particularly in the Greater Accra Region, where infection rates are highest.
Underlining the virus’s rapid transmission, the GHS stressed the crucial role of adhering to safety protocols.
Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, Director of Public Health at GHS, underscored the significance of widespread vaccination in containing the outbreak. During a press briefing, he urged all Ghanaians to participate in the campaign.
“We are getting a few cases reported in parts of Accra and a few other regions. And it brings to bear the fact that Ghanaians need to be vaccinated and so on the 4th to the 10th of May, we are going to do a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign and we want to urge all Ghanaians to be part of the exercise.
“We plan to do about four or five before the end of the year. The thinking is that we need to get the necessary population immunity that will help us minimize the risk of getting infections in the country,” he stressed.
