Government policy on the mandatory Covid-19 vaccination certificate before assessing some public facilities is biting hard on people who are yet to take their jabs. Visibly distraught people who had been denied entry to facilities of the Ministry of Health called for siting of vaccination centers on the premises of the Ministry to aid the vaccination drive.
The mandatory Covid-19 certification policy otherwise known as Covid passport is to ramp up Ghana’s effort at inoculating all citizens.
At the main entrance of the Ministry of Health is a boldly welcoming message, “no vaccination card no entry”.
Although per the directive, personnel of the Ghana Police Service were to inspect Covid certificates, none of them was sighted.
That notwithstanding, Security Personnel detailed at the main entrance were up to the task.
Some visitors and workers who were yet to take their jabs were refused entry when they were unable to provide their vaccination certificates.
The situation was however different at some other Ministries such as Gender, Children and Social Protection and Education as their doors were opened to all.
