“I think what Joy is doing right now is incredible for the average Ghanaian, because you bringing quite a bit of brainpower together, resources together.”
“You can see the different ideas that when we come together and put our heads together, how great we can be,” he said Wednesday.
The ICU team leader, speaking on PM: Express, noted that the negative attitude from people with regards to a vaccine is due to the lack of extensive education.
He said the numerous doubts and questions about the Covid-19 vaccines is vital as it took less than a year to come up with one.
