Authorities at the Mamprobi Polyclinic have resumed administering vaccines to children against yellow fever after parents were turned away last Wednesday due to shortage.
Authorities confirmed to Asempa News that the Clinic ran out of stock of vaccines for yellow fever while several requests for the Metro Directorate to provide them with the vaccines proved futile.
The Ghana Health Service’s Disease Control Officer at the Mamprobi Polyclinic, Felix Nii Duodu, told Asempa News that the Metro Health Directorate only supplied the facility with the vaccines after Asempa News broke the news of the shortage.
Asempa News on Wednesday reported that parents who had taken their children to the Mamprobi Polyclinic to be vaccinated against measles and yellow fever were asked to go home because the hospital had ran out of supply of the vaccines.
Mr. Duodu however claimed that it was only the vaccine for the yellow fever that had ran out of supply, adding parents who came to the clinic on Thursday with the children on yellow fever were vaccinated.
