Manager of the Extended Programme on Immunisation Dr. Kwame Amponsah-Achiano who said this in an interview with GBC News after Ghana took delivery of 350,000 of the Oxford AstraZeneca said they will adhere to the standard procedure to vaccinate the targeted group of 849,000 persons.

He said more vaccines are expected by the end of the month to cater for all persons in this category.
