Caritas Ghana working for equal access to Covid-19 vaccines Following the arrival of a shipment of 600,000 doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca Covid-19 vaccine in Ghana, Mr. Samuel Zan Akologo, the head of Caritas Ghana, reflects on the ongoing national Covid-19 vaccination campaign highlighting the work of Caritas in ensuring equal access to vaccines for all. By Fr. Benedict Mayaki, SJ In recent weeks, Ivory Coast, Kenya, Angola, Nigeria and Senegal became among the first countries in Africa to receive several million doses of the Covid-19 vaccine in the global rollout as part of the COVAX initiative. First on that list, however, was Ghana which received 600,000 doses of the Vaccine on 24 February. Since the first Covid-19 case was confirmed in March 2020, more than 80,000 Ghanaians have been infected with the virus and over close to 600 died. This shipment of the vaccines, therefore, was welcome news on the path to recovery for Ghanaian citizens.
