From January 2022, the Police will inspect the Vaccination Cards of all Commercial drivers and Motorbike Riders to ensure they have taken the COVID-19 shot.

Additionally, workers of all Government Institutions and Health Facilities will not be allowed into their workplaces if they do not show proof of vaccination, while absence from work, for this reason, will deprive a worker of his or her salary. Students 15 years or above, as well as all Teaching and Non-Teaching Staff, of Secondary and Tertiary Institutions are also expected to be vaccinated before the next Academic Year.

Also patrons and workers of all Restaurants, Stadiums, Beaches and Night Clubs are also expected to undergo mandatory vaccination and show proof before entry into such places. The arrangements are part of a Mandatory Vaccination Policy which started yesterday and is to be enforced in January, next year, after the Government had declared December, a National Vaccination Month.

The Mandatory Vaccination Policy will be expanded in phases to cover more groups based on information gathered from the pilot. The Minister of Health, Kwaku Agyeman-Manu, announced the modalities when he launched the National Vaccination Month in Accra. He said the declaration of December, as National Vaccination Month, is to enable people targeted under the Mandatory Vaccination Policy, as well as the entire population, get vaccinated before the policy enforcement begins in January 2022.
