Dr DaCosta Aboagye, Director of Health Promotion at Ghana Health Service
Ghana Health Service (GHS) Director of Health Promotion Dr DaCosta Aboagye urged the public not to worry about the safety concerns regarding coronavirus disease (COVID-19) vaccines.
He denied claims that the vaccine has its side implications that could lead to death.
“The government will not buy vaccines to kill Ghanaians, no! it’s for our safety against the deadly virus, ”he told host Mac Jerry Osei Agyemang on NEAT FM’s morning show, Ghana Montie.
Dr DaCosta Aboagye, however, urged Ghanaians who qualify for the vaccine to receive safe doses to protect themselves.
Ghana on Wednesday became the first country to receive 600,000 doses of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine manufactured by the Serum Institute of India, as part of the WHO COVAX initiative.
The number of active cases in Ghana stands at 6,404 with 588 deaths.
