A woman who sells at the market has encouraged every Ghanaian to make sure they take their doses of the coronavirus vaccine injection for protection.

In an interview with YEN.com.gh's Philip Abutiate, the unnamed vendor indicated that she herself is not likely to take one as she has never taken an injection in her life.

According to her, if the vaccines came in the form of tablets, it would be easy for people like her but she is scared of the prospect to go in for the injection.
