Ghana will be deploying drones to deliver COVID-19 vaccines to parts of the country that are hard to reach, the BBC has reported.
The second phase of Ghana's vaccination rollout started today after government recently took delivery of some 360,000 jabs under the COVAX platform, an equitable vaccine distribution platform spearheaded by the World Health Organization and UNICEF among others.
The second rollout is taking place in three regions; Greater Accra, Ashanti and Central regions.
It will encompass 43 districts and only people who have had their first jab will be eligible. Authorities have used text messages to notify those who are eligible for the shots.
Ghana has inoculated about a million people since the first jab was given to President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo in early March, he became the first person in the world to receive a COVAX shot.
