A little over a month after Ghana began the mass vaccination of a section of the population against COVID-19, almost all the 600,000 jabs received from the Serum Institute of India have been administered.
As of Wednesday, April 7, approximately 599,128 vaccines have been administered, according to the Ghana Health Service.
The country became the first in the world to receive the AstraZeneca vaccines under the COVAX facility in February.
It began vaccinating health workers, religious leaders, security officers and other frontline workers from Tuesday, March 2, a week after it took delivery of 600,000 vaccines from India.
The country received an additional 50,000 from the Indian government.
