The government of Ghana has received an additional 244,800 doses of Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccine through the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT).
The AVAT mechanism was established by the African Union and is supported by the World Bank.
The vaccines arrived at Kotoka International Airport (KIA) on Thursday, September 2.
This is part of the government’s interventions to ensure the country achieves collective immunity in the fight against the virus.
Earlier in August, 177,600 doses of the Johnson & Johnson vaccine were purchased by the government as part of the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT) initiative.
Following the purchase, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) last week began administering the vaccines to locations identified as hot spots in all parts of the country.
The administration of the Johnson & Johnson Covid-19 vaccines in the Greater Accra and Ashanti regions ended with around 155,000 vaccines administered in the two regions.
