Senior High School students have been mandated to receive COVID-19 vaccine jab as they turn up for school.
The Director-General of the Ghana Education Service (GES), Prof. Kwesi Opoku Amankwah disclosed this in an interview with Nana Yaw Kesseh on Peace FM's ''Kokrokoo''.
Explaining the new academic calendar for the schools, from the Junior High level to the Senior High where he stated that the trimester that's was introduced into the school has come to an end, Prof. Opoku Amankwah urged parents and guardians to ensure their children don't attend school without having received their vaccination and, with those on campus, also encouraged to protect themselves.
''It's important that every student aged 15 years and above should receive the COVID jab. So, we plead with the parents to ensure their children are inoculated before they go to school'', he said.

Why force student to vaccinate. Stop this lies and deception. Everybody has right to take or not and must not be mandatory. The citizens must arise and oppose this evil. You had vaccines in past which was not mandatory but why this.
I don't get it. What evidence does the GHA have in following these vaccination programmes. as if they're being forced by someone to go in this direction. Cases are falling in the country, what's the need for this? Children should not be vaccinated. No child has died in Ghana from Covid. This is absurd. They need books and computers to learn. GHA should stop this ***barred word***.
Let the politicians vaccinate their children in public as example to encourage other SHS students to do so, morons. You go for your monies and want to force student to vaccinate so you keep your share. What public education have you done to make this bogus declaration? The whole government is absolute garbage!
