Ghanaians have been advised to emulate the examples of the country's leaders by taking the COVID-19 vaccines to help prevent the spread of the virus in the country.
Mr Mohammed Awal Sumani Bapio, Executive Director of Centre for Active Learning and Integrated Development (CALID), a non-governmental organization, who gave the advice, reiterated that the COVID-19 vaccines were safe and it was important for the citizenry to avail themselves to the vaccines to be protected.
This formed part of his message to members of some communities when his organization (CALID) in collaboration with the Northern Regional Health Directorate visited to sensitise them on the COVID-19 pandemic and the need for them to take the COVID-19 vaccines.
The community sensitization on the pandemic and the need to take the COVID-19 vaccines, funded by OXFAM in Ghana, an international non-governmental organization, was to discount the growing public perception, conspiracies and myths in circulation about the vaccines.
