The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has announced that the country will be able to procure the COVID-19 vaccine by the end of March 2021.
According to the GHS, the procurement processes have already started and by the end of the first quarter the vaccine will be in Ghana.
Director for Public Health at GHS explained the plans the team has already engaged in.
He said the team has already submitted a request in that regard through the WHO’s COVAX facility.
“We’re not going to get all at once. It will come and continue coming. But hopefully, let’s say… by the end of the first quarter of 2021 we will start getting the vaccines,” Dr. Franklin Asiedu Bekoe said.
“The COVAX facility is a global initiative that brings together governments and manufacturers to ensure eventual COVID-19 vaccines reach those in greatest need, whoever they are and wherever they live.”
