This makes Ghana the first country in the world to
deploy drones on a national scale to deliver
Covid-19 vaccines.



On Tuesday, February 23, the COVAX Facility
shipped 600,000 doses of the AstraZeneca/Oxford
vaccine, from the Serum Institute of India (SII)
from Pune, India to Accra, Ghana.

The arrival in Accra, the following day, is the
first batch delivered anywhere in the world by the
COVAX Facility as part of an unprecedented effort
to deliver at least 2 billion doses of COVID-19
vaccines to low- and middle-income countries by
the end of 2021.
