The World Health Organization (WHO) is urging African countries including Ghana not to throw away expired Covid-19 vaccines. The Organization says the vaccines are safe for use despite their expiry. The appeal comes after Malawi and South Sudan said they would destroy more than 70,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca jab because they expired in mid-April, the BBC reports.
“My appeal to member states is: if we are doing our part to mobilize these vaccines, you do your part and use the vaccines,” John Nkengasong, director of the Africa CDC stated. Recent figures from the Ghana Health Service (GHS) show that Ghana’s Covid-19 cases have dropped to 25.
