The Director of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr. Patrick Aboagye has disclosed that government has declared December as moth of vaccination.
This, according to Dr. Aboagye, is to prevent a fourth wave of the devastating coronavirus during the festive season.
He said specific groups and venues including nightclubs, beaches, restaurants will be targeted for the vaccination next month.[ads2]
Persons who intend to visit beaches, restaurants, sports stadiums will thus not be allowed entry if not vaccinated.
“We are declaring December as a month of vaccination and it will be launched by the Minister on Tuesday. This mandate will be applicable in January and this mandate will become effective”, he said this at a press conference on Sunday, November 28, 2021.
Dr. Aboagye went ahead to state that Ghana is expecting over seven million doses of vaccines by the end of this year.[ads3]
He said the receipt of these vaccines will bring to total, the 20 million doses of the jabs the country has targeted to vaccinate the population.
“More than 7.4 million doses are supposed to come in between now and probably December. We may even get more than this and that will take us to about 20 million of vaccines that have come into the country before the end of the year. What is left for us is to take it”.
“Our strategy remains the same. One is to be strategic about where all our facilities are providing vaccination. We are also going around taking the vaccine to the people. We are also doing mobile vaccination where people will go to the lorry park and see a car parked giving the vaccines”, Dr. Kuma Aboagye added.[ads5]
