A National Youth Organizer aspirant of the governing New Patriotic Party (NPP) Prince-Kamal Gumah is urging Ghanaians to get vaccinated against the deadly Coronavirus.
While commended the Nana Addo-led government for acquiring the vaccines, Mr. Gumah said the citizens can only be protected when they agree to take the vaccine.
He implored Ghanaians not to be misled by the negative narrative about the coronavirus vaccines as the jabs remain the only protection against the impact of the pandemic.
“Ghana needs us and we have a caring President who is ever ready to protect us all. We must all get the jab for our protection and safety,” He advised
Prince-Kamal also assured that the vaccines had been duly certified by the Food and Drugs Authority and were therefore safe for usage.
Ghana last Wednesday secured the first batch of 600,000 doses of the UN-arranged COVAX vaccines manufactured by AstraZeneca in India.
Although President Akufo-Addo, together with his Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, and their respective spouses have been vaccinated, the Ghana Health Service says a national vaccination exercise will commence from Tuesday, March 2, to Monday, March 15, 2021.
Persons who would be included during this first vaccination campaign are healthcare workers, frontline security personnel, persons with underlying medical conditions, persons 60 years and above, and members of the Executive, Legislature and Judiciary.
