President Nana Akufo-Addo as part of measures to curb the spread of the coronavirus in his 27th address on Wednesday December 15, 2021 to the nation rubbish misinformation surrounding the coronavirus vaccines.
“The vaccines are safe. They will not harm you. They will protect you and your families,” he said during his address to the nation on Ghana’s management of the coronavirus pandemic.
The president cited erroneous claims that the vaccine could compel one to vote for the New Patriotic Party (NPP).
“Getting vaccinated will not cause you to vote for the NPP in the 2024 elections if you do not want to. This is an outrageous claim. Vaccination cannot change your political preference.” he added
The government has declared the final month of 2021 as the month of vaccinations, amid growing concerns of vaccine hesitancy among Ghana’s population.
This has been accompanied by vaccine mandates like the directive to all persons to be vaccinated on arrival at the Kotoka International Airport before they can be permitted to enter the country.
