Let’s go for the jab

The Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19), which was first reported from Wuhan City in Hubei Province of China on December 31, 2019, has since created problems for many countries.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) confirmed the novel disease on January 12, 2020, and explained that it was the cause of a respiratory illness in a cluster of people in Wuhan City.

Ghana recorded its first two cases of COVID–19 on March 12, 2020. The cases were all imported, but the disease quickly spread through the country within a few weeks of the first cases. The rest of the world was not spared also as the virus spread like wildfire.

The devastating effect of COVID-19 has seen many economies become destroyed and unable to organise well to improve upon the welfare of their citizens.

For this reason, economic growth slowed down and unemployment and other economic problems threatened the lives of many people.

Apart from economic problems, other people lost their lives as a result. Ghana was no exception to this calamity.

This is why the Government of Ghana fought hard to receive vaccines to prevent the infection of more people.

Many people have gone for the vaccination but others have not.

The refusal on the part of people to go for vaccination is due to some misconceptions about the vaccination.

There are some people who believe that men who go for the vaccination will be rendered impotent. These and other misconceptions have made it difficult for many people to go in for the COVID-19 jabs.

Generally, people are expected to go for three rounds of jab. These vaccines are meant to protect people who have taken the jab, so that infection will be drastically reduced.

The Spectator is, therefore, encouraging all people in the country to go for the vaccination because the COVID-19 is still around.

Health officers in the country have been doing their best to spread the good news to everyone.

The Government of Ghana also did its best to bring the situation under control when the pandemic was at its peak.

Anyone who values their life should go for the vaccine and complete all the jabs, so that they will be protected against the disease.

If we all do this, the spread of the disease will be curtailed and people in Ghana will be more productive since they will be protected from infection.
