A flight carrying 600,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine produced by the Serum Institute of India landed in Ghana’s capital city, Accra, in the early hours of Wednesday morning. The vaccines are the first to be distributed in an initial tranche of deliveries to low and middle income countries through Covax, a scheme led by the World Health Organization (WHO), Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness (Cepi) and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance.

An aircraft carrying 600,000 doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine landed in Accra, the capital of Ghana, on Wednesday, where jabs will be administered to frontline health workers on Tuesday. Vaccine doses will arrive on Friday in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, and will be given from Monday.
