The Chairperson for Advocates for Christ Ghana, Edem Senanu has challenged the Akufo-Addo government to withdraw its various directives mandating Ghanaians to embark on a compulsory vaccination exercise.
According to Mr. Senanu, the decision by the Akufo-Addo government is an infringement on the rights of tye citizens.
Addressing Journalists in Accra on Tuesday morning, he said "We call on the Minister of Health and the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service together with the Minister of Education and the Director General of Ghana Education Service to withdraw the directives mandating compulsory vaccination"
He added that the Government of Ghana should proceed on its vaccination drive through engaging in providing comprehensive education to citizens that would aid them in making the necessary choices to voluntarily accept vaccination.
Mr. Senanu said "We should not be forcing, compelling or insisting mandatory vaccinations for citizens, this infringes on the rights to make personal informed medical choices as they deem fit and could adversely impact citizens in the long run.
He called on President Akufo-Addo to support the rights of the citizens by curtailing the drive to implement mandatory vaccination.
