The former president of the Republic of Ghana, John Mahama has taken his first vaccination against covid-19.
He took his vaccine on Tuesday, March 2, 2021, at the Police Hospital together with his wife, former First Lady, Mrs. Lordina Mahama.
Mr. Mahama after taking the vaccine allayed the fear of Ghanaians with an assurance the vaccine is safe. He also noted that Ghanaians should disregard the conspiracy theories about the vaccine and get vaccinated.
He said the only way the country could win the fight against the virus is to vaccinate as many people as possible.
John Mahama after the vaccination said;
“I believe that all Ghanaians should avail themselves for the vaccines and indeed in Africa, we should be less hesitant about taking vaccines because all of us took vaccines when we were growing up, and it is due to these vaccines that today our children do not get all kinds of diseases like polio and smallpox among others. So vaccines are useful in preserving our health and so Ghanaians should disregard all these rumors.”
President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and Vice President Alhaji Dr Mahamudu Bawumia and their spouses took the jabs of the vaccines on Monday, March 1.
