The new guideline puts the responsibility of vaccination and adherence on both passengers and the airline such that airlines will not allow passengers who are not properly vaccinated or have no proof of an accepted COVID-19 test to board.
The doctors adding their voice to the mandatory vaccination said "We disagree with the strategy of banking our hopes on these vaccinations and directly or indirectly imposing coercing Ghanaians to go for inoculations against the coronavirus disease which as previously stated, we are learning about."
"We as concerned doctors are writing to you requesting all forms of mandates across the country requiring proof of vaccination with COVID-19 vaccines be rescinded with immediate effect and a pause in the vaccine rollout," it added.
