The Hohoe Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr. Andrews Teddy Ofori, has called on residents to take the COVID-19 vaccination to protect themselves against the disease.
“Taking the Covid-19 vaccine is the surest way to protect ourselves from the disease,” he said.
Mr. Ofori, who spoke in an interview after he took a COVID-19 jab at the Municipal Health Directorate, said vaccines were not meant for only sick people.
He called on the residents in the Hohoe Municipality to avail themselves when the time came for them to be vaccinated.
The Hohoe Municipal Disease Control Officer, Mr. Philip Nani-Tome, said a total of 1,413 health workers were expected to take the COVID-19 vaccine in the Municipality. He said the total number of jabs given as of March 29 was 921.
The Officer said eight of the health workers, who took the jab, reported non-serious cases and were stable.
