In a communique issued from the Presidency, Nana Addo is expected to discuss Ghanaâs plans to purchase some of the COVID-19 vaccines.
âIt is a two-fold meeting. First and foremost; the establishment of the national vaccine institute⊠and secondly to also help procure more vaccines,â the statement said.
âHe [President Akufo-Addo is still committed, and I believe we are still on course to making sure that God willing, by the end of this year, we should meet the target of vaccinating 20 million people,â Mr Arhin said.
The Ghana Health Service has disclosed that it will start the vaccination of Ghanaians waiting for their second dose of the AstraZaneca vaccine next week.

In an interview with the Daily Graphic in Accra yesterday, Dr. Amponsa-Achiano said priority would be given to those who took their first jab from March 10, this year and beyond.
That, he said, was because the last consignment of AstraZeneca that was deployed was targeted at those who took their first jab from March 1 to March 9, this year.
He explained that they were finalising the deployment plan for the recent AstraZeneca consignment and the plan would determine the exact day the exercise would start next week.
