The Ghana Employers' Association (GEA) has urged business owners to take necessary measures to ensure that their employees go through the Covid-19 vaccination process.
The GEA in a statement released March 2 intimated that the health and safety of workers was vital for the progress of an organisation, therefore, the need for employees to be vaccinated.
"GEA, therefore, encourages employers to design robust communication strategies to promote the vaccination of their employees who may be skeptical or reluctant to take the vaccines due to inappropriate information they might have received," CEO, Alex Frimpong explained.
"The pandemic, since its outbreak in Ghana, has had a telling effect on the activities of both employers and workers. Most employers have had to scale down or shut down their businesses in response to the various measures implemented by Government to contain the virus," he added.
According to the group, workplaces have recently been cited as hotspots for the spread of the virus, hence business owners must help eliminate the pandemic from the workplace by ensuring that their members adhere to the Covid-19 safety protocols.
In addition, the association further assured that Covid-19 vaccines are safe because it has been endorsed by the Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) therefore, employers and employees should shun away from the myths and conspiracy theories surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine.
"The FDA has subjected the vaccines to thorough scientific scrutiny and has assured the nation that the vaccines are safe for use by all persons above 18 years of age and non-expecting women," the association said.
