The Ghana Health Service will today deploy consignments of childhood vaccines such as BCG, OPV, and measles, as well as their accompanying devices, to district health facilities across the country.
A statement signed by the Director-General, Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye, urged the public not to buy the vaccines.
The statement said the vaccines are free and can be obtained at designated health facilities and all Child Welfare Clinics or weighing centers.
It urged caregivers not to rush for the vaccines since the Ministry of Health has made adequate provisions for vaccines for the rest of the year and beyond. The statement said that under the national vaccination policy, all children who missed their scheduled vaccines are still eligible for vaccination.
