"Our next phase of work is to vaccinate all health workers in the country because they are in the frontline. That will give us some 90,000 workers. Both the private and public health workers will be vaccinated from Monday. We hope that within a period of two weeks. All health workers will be covered across the country," Dr. Patrick Kuma-Aboagye added.
