Despite the fact that Ghanaians will not be forced to take the COVID-19 vaccination, Minister of Health Kwaku Agyemang Manu, has stated that only fully vaccinated people would be able to visit government institutions in the near future.
He stated that this rule would take effect as soon as the government enacted a policy mandating COVID-19 vaccination.
When the policy is implemented, kids in government schools will be affected, according to the minister, who made these remarks during a news conference in Accra.
No student would be forced to get vaccinated, but they would not be allowed to enter their classrooms or lecture halls until they could show proof of having received the COVID-19 vaccines.
Kwaku Ayemang Manu also disclosed that although some cases of the Omicorn variant had been recorded in Ghana, its effects on infected persons was not severe as feared.
He, however, urged the public not to be conceited but should continue to observe the COVID-19 protocols to limit the spread of the virus in the country.
He said that the government was fully focused on ensuring that every person in Ghana who meets the requirement to be vaccinated was to help curb the spread of the virus.
He added that as soon as lots of Ghanaians are vaccinated the government would put in measures to acquire COVID-19 booster shots.
