GJA/GIBA/PRINPAG urge journalists to ensure successful COVID-19 vaccination
On February 24, 2021, Ghana received 600,000 COVAX vaccines, which are part of an initial tranche of deliveries of the AstraZeneca / Oxford vaccines. The arrival of the COVID-19 vaccines in Ghana is critical in the fight against the pandemic. The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA) and the Private Newspaper Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG) note with satisfaction arrangements made by the government to fight COVID-19 and ensure that Ghanaians are safe from the pandemic. The three media groups understand that the combination of getting vaccinated and following World Health Organisation (WHO) recommendations to protect yourselves and others, provide the best antidote to COVID-19.
The Ghana Journalists Association (GJA), the Ghana Independent Broadcasters Association (GIBA), and the Private Newspaper Publishers Association of Ghana (PRINPAG) are urging journalists to use their platforms to educate the need to take part in the Covid-19 vaccination exercise.
