A collaboration of three local pharmaceutical businesses has obtained a factory to manufacture the COVID-19 vaccine.

The facility is slated to arrive in the country before the end of the year, with production beginning the next year.

The government is assisting Danadams, Ernest Chemists, and Kinapharma in producing COVID-19 vaccines in the country through a private-led project called DEK Vaccines Limited.

Prof. Kwabena Frimpong-Boateng, chair of the Vaccine Production Committee, said last Friday at a stakeholder dialogue between the committee and the Presidential Press Corps that the action was part of a short-term solution to vaccinate the people against the deadly COVID-19 virus.

He stated that the DEK group would follow all international standards and packaging (fill and finish) processes for the vaccine manufacture in Ghana.



According to the chairman of the Vaccine Committee (DEK), Ghana could make its first vaccine under license next year. Currently, Ghana imports 99 percent of all vaccines, including those for children under the age of five, from other countries. In the short to medium term, the strategy is to reverse the trend.


Ghana is considering establishing a National Vaccine Institute to manage activities such as research and development, finance, standards control, and local vaccine manufacture. Prof. Frimpong-Boateng stated that Ghana will get ingredients from existing manufacturing companies and will make the vaccine domestically using stringent processes and procedures.

Check out what the Ghanaian army did to a fake soldier.

Aside from crime and a variety of other social vices, one of the few issues that Ghanaians face the most is the use of false identities. These are not the identities of those who are citizens or do not hold prominent positions in the government, but rather military and other security personnel. There have been many reports of military members brutalizing citizens who dress like them and being chastised for it. However, according to the military guys we've met, this is merely to put a stop to these activities. There have been countless instances where persons in false police and army uniforms have been able to infringe on the rights of the innocent and get away with it while blaming the military or police. This young man who claims to be a soldier has been apprehended and is being dealt with in the barracks, according to a popular video today. According to reports, he has effectively wooed individuals not just into believing he is a military guy, but also into giving them employmen

 The abrupt shift in Yaa Jackson's persona has piqued people's interest. People have been puzzled as to why the formerly cool child has transformed into a social media freak, posting crazy and exposing videos of herself. Her arrival on the music scene was unexpected. Unlike other female youthful musicians, Yaa Jackson entered the music industry with a bad trend and has maintained it ever since. Some of us who knew her at an early age are disappointed by her actions and the type of music she performs. Well, it appears that the answer we've all been searching for has arrived, and it's coming from her biological brother. In an interview, Yaa Jackson's brother, Jackson K. Nyame 'Sherf,' alias Kumerica 'Cardi B,' disclosed some profound truths about his sister, her music career, and her connection with God.

Check Out What These SHS Students Were Up To In The Back Of Their Dormitory[Video ]

 The discipline of the highest calibre. Disgraceful behaviour that spews disgrace and a poor moral upbringing. It appears that these young Senior High School students are unaware that indecent exposure in the public domain is punishable by law, as they engaged in the open play of a very serious offence, violating the school's acceptable conduct and violating national laws. In a video shared on social media, the students were seen engaging in a hot afternoon entanglement at the back of the school's boys dormitory, with no fear of being caught during class hours. There is no regard for their education, only blatant irresponsibility. It seems s*x and other romantic games mostly meant for married couples have made their way to supposed “future leaders” of our country as a young girl was seen recently s**king a male colleague. The indiscipline amongst students has become rampant as Senior high school students have become the Topic for discussion these past weeks as videos show them
