Ahafo Region Vaccinates 7,889 people against Covid-19

The Ahafo Regional Director of Health, Dr Boakye Boateng, has commended workers and stakeholders in the health sector for their commitment to preventing the spread of the COVID-19 in the Region.

He said 19 deaths had so far been recorded in the Region as of April 28, this year, with the regional case count pegged at 711.

Dr Boateng indicated 7,889 people including health workers, media professionals and security services were vaccinated in the first phase of the COVID-19 nationwide vaccination exercise in the region.

He was speaking at a stakeholder’s meeting on COVID-19 organised by Care International, a Non-Governmental Organisations (NGO), in Sunyani and attended by health workers selected from the various District and Municipal Assemblies in the Bono and Ahafo Regions.

Dr Boateng said the region had made headway in COVID-19 prevention, but the region needed to purposely build a COVID-19 centre and Intensive Care Unit urgently.

 Dr Boateng advised the people to be cautious not to disregard the health safety protocols and government restrictions that could trigger the spread of new infections.
