Following the announcement of the 6th National COVID-19 Vaccination Days, the Ghana Health Service (GHS) reports that it has barely reached 10% of its target.
The Service designated January 20, 2023, through January 24, 2023, as immunisation days due to an increase in COVID-19 infections in some countries, notably China.
The service regrets that the attendance has not been very impressive.
However, Dr. Kwame Amponsa-Achiano, the Service’s programme manager for the Expanded Programme on Immunisation, expressed optimism that turnout will increase in an interview with Citi News.

“So far, it’s been fine, not exactly as we expected, but at least it made some inroads. We are happy that some people are taking some vaccines. It’s early days yet, we have data for only day one… If you look at data for day one, we are doing about 10% of our target.”
“That is data from only thirteen regions, we haven’t had the reports from the other three regions yet, so we are still expecting,” Dr. Kwame Amponsa-Achiano stated.
