The Ghana Health Service (GHS) is gearing up for a countrywide COVID-19 vaccination drive. Scheduled from May 7 to May 10, 2024, the campaign aims to address rising infections reported across multiple healthcare facilities.
Dr. Franklin Asiedu-Bekoe, Director of Public Health, revealed that the initiative will focus on specific areas within the Greater Accra region where cases have been identified thus far.

“We are getting a few cases reported in parts of Accra and a few other regions. And it brings to bear the fact that Ghanaians need to be vaccinated and so on the 4th to the 10th of May, we are going to do a nationwide COVID-19 vaccination campaign and we want to urge all Ghanaians to be part of the exercise.
“We plan to do about four or five before the end of the year. The thinking is that we need to get the necessary population immunity that will help us minimize the risk of getting infections in the country,” he explained in a report by Accra-based Citi News.
