Gov’t faulted for Covid-19 vaccine ‘misconception’
Former District Chief Executive of Sekyere Afram
Plains Fuseini Donkor has ascribed the myths and
conspiracy theories surrounding the Covid-19
vaccine to poor public education.

realityapp
He explained the level of education to get the
public’s buy-in has so far not been executed
enough, hence the the rising misconception and
massive public opposition to the Covid-19
immunization.



Ghana received its first tranche of 600,000 doses
of AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine on Wednesday, 24
February

The arrival of the vaccine triggered massive
divided public opinion on immunization against the
virus

Although some key public figures and politicians
have been engaging the public on various platforms
on the need to take the vaccine shots, according
to Fuseini Donkor, “the Covid-19 fund would have
resourced the NCCE and other agencies to spearhead
a consistent public education on the covid
vaccine”.

Speaking on Akoma FM‘s weekend political show
Wonsom, the former government appointee, who is
also a public health expert, told host of the show
Aduanaba Kofi Asante Ennin that “the Covid-19
fund should have dealt with committing resources
to various radio stations and the NCCE to engage
the public and psych them on the need to immunize
against the virus”.



He added that “as it stands most of the people
especially those in the hinterlands have little
knowledge on the need to take the vaccine shots
and those are in the majority so it is empirical
on government to up his game and strengthen
mandated institutions both private and public to
spread the gospel of the vaccine”
