The vaccination of President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo has rekindled the hope and enthusiasm of some residents of the metropolis of Sekondi-Takoradi.
President and First Lady Rebecca Akufo-Addo, as well as Vice President Alhaji Mahamdu Bawumia and his wife Samira Bawumia were vaccinated at various health facilities on Monday March 1, 2021, to mark the start of a nationwide attempt to get the most Ghanaians immune to the deadly virus.
The president tried to demystify the COVID-19 vaccine and raise awareness and encourage more Ghanaians to get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Some residents believed the vaccines would help minimize the incidence of the virus and bring life back to normal.
Mr Samuel Yankey, a student at Takoradi Technical University, in an interview with the Ghana News Agency (GNA), said it was a good indicator, but that he would wait about a month before taking the vaccine. .
Ms Rhoda Amoateng said that although she was a little confused she was sure the vaccine was of high quality and once the Presidency took the vaccine she was also ready to take it.
NABCO intern Mr. Theophilus Twumasi, however, said that while the Presidency has shown the way, he has yet to make a decision on the vaccine.
Madam Getrude Mensah, a food vendor, was still fearful and the misconception that the vaccine made a person infertile. She said, “If nothing happens to these people after a few weeks, I will also follow.”
She prayed that the vaccine would work accordingly and prayed for normal life to resume as businesses collapsed in hard times.
Ms. Mensah, however, encouraged residents to continue to adhere to all COVID-19 safety protocols to stem the spread of the virus.
