The Ghana Health Service (GHS) is rolling out a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign in response to a surge in infections across healthcare facilities.
Running from May 4 to May 10, 2024, the campaign aims to address the rising cases, particularly in Greater Accra, where the highest numbers have been recorded.
With the virus spreading rapidly, the Ghana Health Service emphasizes strict adherence to safety protocols.
Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, Director of Public Health at the Ghana Health Service, stressed the significance of widespread vaccination to curb the virus’s spread. He urged all Ghanaians to actively participate in the campaign during a media briefing.
“We are witnessing a rise in cases reported in parts of Accra and a few other regions. This underscores the urgent need for vaccination. From the 4th to the 10th of May, we are launching a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign, and we urge all Ghanaians to take part in this effort,” Dr. Asiedu-Bekoe said.
“We aim to conduct four or five campaigns before the year ends. Our goal is to achieve the necessary population immunity to minimize the risk of infections in the country.”
