The National Executive Board of the United Pentecostal Church International Ghana (UPCI) has urged its members to avail themselves for the COVID-19 vaccination.
According to the leadership of the church, inasmuch as the church believes in divine healing, it also believes in clinical care, medicine and diagnostics as well as standard public health including vaccination.
In a communique dated March 4, 2021, and signed by the National Superintendent of the church, Rev. D.Y.N. Arko, the church said We wish to inform members that upon consultation with medical health officers, scientists and other experts in addition to the reviewing of scientific literatures, and data from populations who have taken some of the vaccines, we have no cause to discourage against COVID-19 vaccination.
