Earlier on Monday, President Nana Akufo-Addo and his wife, Rebecca Akufo-Addo, became the first Ghanaians to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
The President and the First Lady took the first injection of the vaccine during a short ceremony at the 37 Military Hospital.
It will be recalled that last week, Ghana took delivery of its first consignment of AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccines.
About 600,000 doses of the vaccines arrived at the Kotoka International Airport last Wednesday, February 24, 2020.
The government has since announced the specific group of persons who will be prioritised in the distribution of the vaccine.
