Nana Addo, Bawumia and spouses to take COVID-19 vaccine publicly today
The President, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and his
Vice, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia will today, 1st March,
be the first to publicly receive shots of the
newly arrived COVID-19 vaccines in Ghana.

The two leaders will take the jab together with
their wives, Rebecca Akufo-Addo and Samira Bawumia
respectively to boost public confidence in the
safety and efficacy of the AstraZeneca vaccine
that has been approved for use to slow the spread
of the virus in Ghana.

President Akufo-Addo announced this during his
24th COVID-19 address to Ghanaians on Sunday.

He said the vaccination will take place at two
separate health facilities for both families.

“As your President, I want to assure you that
the vaccine is safe. That is why on Monday, 1st
March, ahead of the commencement of the
vaccination programme on Tuesday, 2nd March, my
wife the First Lady, the Vice President, his wife
the Second Lady, and I will take the vaccine
publicly at two health facilities in Accra,”
Nana Akufo-Addo indicated.

On Tuesday, March 2, 2021, other key public
officials including the Speaker and Members of
Parliament, the Chief Justice and Justices of the
Superior Court of Judicature, Chairperson and
Members of the Council of State, the Chief of
Staff and senior officials at the Office of the
President will take the jab publicly.

The rest are prominent personalities like some
Eminent Clergy, the National Chief Imam, the
Asantehene, the Ga Mantse, and some media
practitioners.

“This is being done because the vaccine will
help protect us against the impact of COVID-19 on
our health. It is also a major catalyst to
restoring livelihoods and the national economy to
the robust level it belongs”, President
Akufo-Addo noted.

He thus called for an all hands-on deck approach
for a successful vaccination programme saying,
“I encourage faith-based groups, civil society,
media and all Ghanaians to support the public
education campaign associated with the
exercise.”
