Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Ghana Health Service, under the National COVID-19 Immunisation Programme, is to move into communities in the Western Region to vaccinate an estimated 149,000 persons against COVID-19.<\/p>\n

The five-day exercise, dubbed, \u201cBetter Late Than Never\u201d, would cover pregnant women, children above 15 years as well as Muslims who may going through the fasting period.<\/p>\n

Dr Gifty Amugi, Public Health Director of the Regional Health Directorate of the Ghana Health Service, told a press conference in Takoradi that the exercise would be targeting door-to-door, homes, religious and recreational gatherings as well as schools.<\/p>\n

She assured that the vaccine was safe, saying, \u201cThe vaccines are generally safe and efficacious to protect you against the COVID-19 virus.\u201d<\/p>\n

The regional statistics show that 26.3 percent of the fully vaccinated had received the booster doses and 43.9 percent received at least a dose.<\/p>\n

The figures according to the Public Director implied that 56.1 percent were yet to receive a dose and the need to enhance regional protection against the COVID-19 virus.<\/p>\n

The Vaccine has the ability to protect you against the virus and ward off any catastrophic effects of current and emerging variants of the virus, she indicated.<\/p>\n
