The Ghana Health Service (GHS) is set to embark on a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign in response to the increasing number of infections reported across healthcare facilities.
The nationwide exercise is expected to run from May 4 to May 10, 2024.
According to the GHS, the nationwide exercise is to help munimise the rising tide of cases, particularly in the Greater Accra region, which has witnessed the highest caseloads to date.
Dr Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health asked Ghanaians to adhere strictly to the safety measures and protocols.
“We are observing a rise in cases reported in parts of Accra and several other regions. This underscores the urgent need for vaccination among Ghanaians. Therefore, from the 4th to the 10th of May, we will conduct a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign and encourage all Ghanaians to participate in this effort.”
“We intend to conduct four or five vaccination campaigns before the year’s end. The goal is to achieve the necessary population immunity that will help minimize the risk of infection within the country.”
