The Western Regional Directorate of Ghana Health Service (GHS) has successfully administered 290,000 doses of cholera vaccines in just two days, out of a target of 641,851, as part of its ongoing vaccination campaign.

The campaign, which runs from December 15 to December 29, is focused on high-risk areas including Sekondi-Takoradi, Effia-Kwesimintsim, Shama, and Ahanta West municipalities.

It aims to provide protection against the cholera outbreak, which has seen 1,633 cases and 15 deaths in the region.

Health authorities are also taking additional measures, such as banning vegetable sales by food vendors linked to the spread of the disease.
