Ghana in talks with manufacturers to receive more vaccines – Okoe Boye
Government is in talks with manufacturers of the
COVID-19 vaccines to get additional vaccines for
the country.

This comes on the back of the delivery of some
600,000 vaccines to Ghana.

Former Deputy Health Minister, Dr. Okoe Boye on
The Big Issue on Citi TV/FM said Ghana will
receive more vaccines in the coming weeks.

“There is communication going on between the
sector minister through the Russian Embassy as
well as certain agents who have direct access to
the manufacturers [of the vaccines]. We are
looking at sources like COVAX, M-pharma and some
private entities that have shown signs of wanting
to give us vaccines.”

Ghana took delivery of doses of the AstraZeneca
COVID-19 vaccine made by the Serum Institute of
India last week Wednesday.

The vaccines arrived via the COVID-19 Vaccine
Global Access Facility (COVAX) which Ghana has
signed onto alongside 91 other countries.

There is no indication yet when the actual
vaccination of persons will begin.

The areas earmarked for the initial vaccine
rollout are the Greater Accra Metropolitan Area
including Awutu Senya and Awutu Senya East in the
Central Region.

A similar segmented population in the Greater
Kumasi Metropolitan Area and Obuasi municipality
will also be covered, according to a statement
from the Information Ministry.

The persons in these areas who will benefit from
the initial doses of vaccine are “health
workers, adults 60 years and over, people with
underlying health conditions, frontline executive,
legislature, judiciary and their related staff,
frontline security personnel, some religious
leaders, essential workers, teachers and other
personalities.”

The newly arrived COVID-19 vaccines will be
deployed to designated health facilities from
March 2, 2021
