The President of the Republic, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo will today at 8pm, address the nation on updates to Ghana’s response to the Coronavirus Pandemic.
The President is expected to disclose details on the second dose of the 350,000 AstraZeneca vaccines that arrived in the country in early May after a delay.
His last address to the nation on Sunday, 28th February 2021 called on Ghanaians to trust the vaccine as it was well tested and effective against Covid-19.
“Fellow Ghanaians, I know there are still some who continue to express doubts about the vaccine, others have expressed reservations about its efficacy, with some taking sides with conspiracy theorists who believe the vaccine has been created to wipe out the African race. This is far from the truth. Our domestic regulatory agency, FDA, one of the most reputable in Africa and in the world, has certified the safe use of the vaccine. It will not do so if it had any reservations about the safety of the vaccine, and I have gone on record as saying that no vaccine will be deployed in the country for use without the express certification of the FDA,” he said.
According to the Ghana Health Service, some 852,047 Vaccines have been Administered as at 7th May, 2021.
