Ghana has taken delivery of another 249,600 doses of AstraZeneca vaccines from the UK government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The vaccines, which were delivered on Wednesday [August 18, 2021] through the COVAX facility, was received at the Kotoka International Airport by a Deputy\u00a0Minister of Health, Tina Mensah, a Representative of the UK High Commission, Mr. John Whittle & the UNICEF Representative and other partners.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

UNICEF said the donation is to \u201csupport the ongoing vaccination campaign.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The vaccines will be transported to the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for storage and subsequent use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The arrival of the AstraZeneca vaccine comes to give a major boost to Ghana\u2019s COVID-19 vaccination drive, which slowed down for about two months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

AstraZeneca was the first vaccine to arrive in Ghana earlier this year when the country heightened its efforts to beat COVID-19.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Out of the about 800,000 people to have been vaccinated with AstraZeneca, nearly half of the number is yet to get the second jab.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ghana is already vaccinating a section of the population with the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which arrived in the country last month through under the African Union\u2019s African Vaccine Acquisition Trust initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A total of\u00a0 177,600 doses\u00a0of the\u00a0Johnson\u00a0&\u00a0Johnson vaccine are currently being administered to unvaccinated persons in COVID-19 hotspots in the Greater Accra region and the Ashanti Region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
