According to Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, "those who had their first dose from the 1st to the 9th March will be those that will be covered."
He made this known during an update to the nation on the steps government has put in place to ensure the effective administration of the second dose of the Covid-19 vaccines nationwide.
He further revealed that his outfits is expected to complete the inoculations by Wednesday, May 26.
