This includes recognising Ghana\u2019s vaccine certificate, and in the spirit of our long term partnership, we are working with Ghana\u2019s Ministry of Health to ensure that this happens as soon as possible.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The announcement comes after resentment greeted the UK travel advisory that would have included Ghana among countries whose vaccine certificates will not be accepted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cStatements that Covid-19 Vaccines administered in Ghana are not approved in the UK are untrue,\u201d parts of the press release read.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the travel updates issued by the UK, from October 4, one will qualify as fully vaccinated if they are \u201cvaccinated under an approved vaccination programme in the UK, Europe, USA or UK vaccine programme overseas with a full course of the Oxford\/ AstraZeneca, Pfizer, BioNTech, Moderna or Janssen vaccines from a relevant public health body in several countries including Australia, New Zealand, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Singapore.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.myjoyonline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/WhatsApp-Image-2021-09-24-at-12.55.20.jpeg\" alt=\"We're working to recognise Ghana's vaccine certificate as soon as possible - UK\" class=\"wp-image-10031915746\" width=\"549\" height=\"915\" title=\"We're working to recognise Ghana's vaccine certificate as soon as possible - UK\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Subsequently, the UK government added Covishield, the India-manufactured Oxford\/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine, to an updated international travel advisory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This meant that Ghanaian travellers who have been fully vaccinated with Covishield will nonetheless have to undergo 10 days of quarantine in the UK, according to UK officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speaking at the 76th United Nations General Assembly on September 22, President Akufo-Addo criticized the directive describing it as unfortunate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to him, \u201cwhat is intriguing is the fact that this vaccine was donated to African countries through the COVAX facility. The use of vaccines as a tool for immigration control will be a truly retrogressive step.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But in the latest press release, the UK has communicated its effort towards delisting Ghana from the affected countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The statement issued on September 24 explained that \u201cthe UK is working to recognise vaccine certificates from other countries as part of a phased review of the many Covid-19 vaccine certificates issued across the world.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis includes recognising Ghana\u2019s vaccine certificate, and in the spirit of our long term partnership, we are working with Ghana\u2019s Ministry of Health to ensure that this happens as soon as possible,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><strong>Send your news stories to\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:dannyboy744@gmail.com\">dannyboy744@gmail.com<\/a>\u00a0and via WhatsApp on +233 266777777<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Travelers from Ghana to the United Kingdom are expected to be exempted from the new Covid-19 travel directives regarding vaccine certificates which takes effect in October.
