This exercise began on Sunday December 15 and running till Thursday, December 19. This decision comes in response to the rising number of cholera cases and fatalities, particularly in the Western and Central Regions.
As of now, eight MMDAs in the Western Region have been impacted, with 908 confirmed cases and 10 deaths reported.
The vaccination campaign aims to reach over 600,000 residents aged two and above in the Shama Municipality, Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolis, Ahanta West, and Effia-Kwesimintsim. Pregnant women and breastfeeding mothers will be excluded from the vaccination.
