Ghana will take delivery in the coming days of more than a million doses of AstraZeneca vaccines from Germany, according to the government.
This has been confirmed by Eugene Arhin, Director of Communications at Jubilee House.
“The German Chancellor has let it be known that at least Germany will help Africa with 70 million vaccines. The president had a bilateral meeting with the German Chancellor. One of the things that came out was the vaccine.
“I am happy to inform Ghanaians that the German Chancellor has informed the President that a total of 1.2 million AstraZeneca vaccines are to be administered in Ghana. A few moments ago I received confirmation from the president that it has increased to 1.5 million. According to the president, he’s sending a plane to Germany to take delivery of the vaccines, ”Arhin told reporters at a Presidential Press Corps briefing on Monday.
This is one of the positive points of the recent negotiations between President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
Vaccines in Ghana will boost the vaccination program that started earlier this year.
Already, around 800,000 people have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca vaccines and others have also received the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which arrived in the country last month through the African Union’s African Vaccine Acquisition Trust initiative.
