Duration for the vaccination exercise organised by the Multimedia Group in partnership with the Ghana Health Service (GHS) which is aimed at getting many people vaccinated, has been extended to Tuesday, November 30, 2021.
This was announced by the General Manager, Sales and Marketing of the Multimedia Group, Mr. Max Fugar.
Speaking to JoyNews, he explained that the decision has been necessitated by pleas from residents.
"A lot of people who could not take advantage of the opportunity to get vaccinated this week have requested for an extension. And because it's for an audience, it's for the community, we've agreed that we would continue tomorrow and extend it up to Tuesday to enable all qualified persons to take advantage of the opportunity we are offering," he said.
In line with a directive from the government for all persons to get vaccinated ahead of the Christmas festivities or risk being denied entry into event venues, the Multimedia Group set up a tent to allow persons who are yet to be vaccinated against Covid-19 to do so.
The exercise dubbed, 'The Multimedia Group Vaccination drive' was originally slated for Monday, November 22 to Friday, November 26, 2021.
Mr Fugar who was impressed with the numbers that have turned up so far, entreated persons who are yet to take advantage of the opportunity to do so before the new deadline.
"The numbers are exactly what we were expecting. The attendance has been good so far [but] I urge all qualified persons who are yet to be vaccinated to take advantage of the opportunity we are offering," he said.
Meanwhile, he urged everyone to continue to observe the Covid-19 safety protocols, despite taking the jab since the pandemic is still prevalent in the country.
"Covid-19 is still with us so it's important that we all strictly observe the protocols to stay alive and keep our families alive," he added.
