The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of AstraZeneca, Pascal Soriot, has expressed delight that the first doses of the vaccine produced by the Serum Institute of India has been delivered.
Ghana became the first country on Wednesday, February 24 to take delivery of 600,000 doses of the vaccines.
In an email sent to our editor, Mr Soriot stated: “I am delighted that the first doses of the AstraZeneca vaccine have been delivered to Ghana through COVAX.”
He added: “This marks a major step forward in changing the course of the pandemic globally.”
Ghana has already won praise from the World Health Organisation (WHO) and Unicef for being the first country to receive the COVAX vaccines.

As a result, the vaccines are expected to be made available to all the countries.
