Ghana has so far administered over 700,000 vaccines since the mass vaccination exercise began in March. According to the Ghana Health Service (GHS), a total of 703,752 vaccines have been administered as at Sunday, April11.
There have been concerns about the shortage of the AstraZeneca vaccines procured from the Serum Institute of India. Ghana received 600,000 doses as the first batch and the world's first under the COVAX initiative in February.
About 50,000 more were received from the Indian government. Many are due for their second shots but delays have hit the facility across the world.
According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), countries that received initial shipments under COVAX could soon be running out of doses.
