Some health workers scared of taking Covid vaccines
Ghana has received the first batch of the
AstraZeneca vaccines as announced by COVAX, making
it the first West African country to receive them
to combat the virus.


The vaccines are expected to inoculate some 20
million Ghanaians but the first batch of 600,000
doses will be limited to arms of government,
judiciary – legislatures, and executives –
frontline health workers and frontline line
security personnel, persons above 60 years, person
as risk and persons with underlying conditions.



The vaccination exercise which is expected to
begin in the first week of March will also focus
in the hotspot areas such as Greater Accra,
Greater Kumasi and Kasoa under Awutu Senya.

However, the growing concern of Ghanaians about
the vaccines and its side effects is never ending.


Medical practitioner with Lekma hospital Dr
Emmanuel Amankrah says the level of anxiety is
real with some health workers vowing not the jab.

In an exclusive interview with TV3, Dr Amankra
said the conversations among health workers is
worrying and attributed to some conspiracy
theories.
