President Akufo Addo Jets Off To Germany -To Chase Pfizer Vaccines.

President Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo today, Sunday, August 22, 2021, jetted off to Germany to meet up with manufacturers of the Pfizer vaccines.

The Akufo Addo administration which has relied mostly on donated vaccines is expected to secure some “substantial” doses of the Pfizer vaccines for Ghana. 

Director of Communications at the Presidency, Eugene Arhin, who disclosed this noted that “It is a two-fold meeting. First and foremost; the establishment of the national vaccine institute… and secondly to also help procure more vaccines.” He added: 

“He [President Akufo-Addo is still committed, and I believe we are still on course to making sure that God willing, by the end of this year, we should meet the target of vaccinating 20 million people.”

 The Ghana Health Service (GHS) is projecting to secure 1.2 million doses of the Pfizer coronavirus vaccines.

Already, Ghana is jabbing its citizens with vaccines such as AstraZeneca, Johnson and Johnson, Russian Sputnik V, and now, it is gunning for Pfizer as the government ambitiously claims it wants to jab some 20 million Ghanaians.
