According to him, talks about the vaccine are well advanced for his entry into the country.
This, he said, is equivalent to saying that by the end of the year, the entire adult population would be vaccinated.
The country inventoried 600,000 vaccines through COVAX facilities, 50,000 from the Indian government and 165,000 from MTN.
The Ghana Health Service has indicated that, according to its statistics, about 500,000 people in Ghana have received their first blow.
Ghana began its national COVID-19 vaccination campaign on March 2, 2020, and President Akufo-Addo and his vice together with their spouses received the vaccine on Monday, March 1, 2021.
Meanwhile, Ghana’s Food and Drug Authority (FDA) has announced that Ghana could begin importing COVID-19 vaccines without bulk packaging.
