Dr. Djokoto praised the media for drawing attention to the vaccination deficit, which led to quick action to avert a national catastrophe.
Measles, Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG), and Polio vaccines were in low supply, endangering the nation’s efforts to implement the Expanded Programme on Immunization (EPI).
The first shipment of vaccinations for the three common children diseases was delivered to the Ghana Health Service and the Ministry of Health on Saturday. According to a press release from the Ministry of Information, distribution to various institutions and areas has already begun.
