Covid vaccine: MPs to receive booster jabs

Covid-19 vaccine booster jabs will be offered to “all Members of Parliament” before they commence parliamentary business next Tuesday, January 25, according to the Speaker of Parliament, Alban Kinsford Sumana Bagbin.

The jabs will first be given to MPs and then to officers of the Parliamentary Service who were vaccinated at least nine months ago.

A letter from the Speaker said the initiative is in response to rising infections from the Omicron variant and to evidence that the protection offered by the vaccines fades.

As of 13 January, 2022, a total of 9,004,225 vaccine doses had been administered in the country.

According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), after a six-week surge, Africa’s fourth pandemic wave driven primarily by the Omicron variant is flattening, marking the shortest-lived surge to date in the continent where cumulative cases have now exceeded 10 million.
