Team Europe was present at the arrival ceremony as the EU is a major donor to the initiative. Presence included the Head of the EU Delegation, Mrs. Diana Acconcia and the Ambassadors of Italy and Spain. Ghanaian officials, UNICEF, WHO, the United Kingdom and the United States were also present. Ghana's Health Minister Designate Mr Kwaku Agyeman-Manu gave a speech.

At the arrival, the atmosphere was cheerful. All stakeholders were proud of Ghana being the first country to receive COVID-19 vaccines through COVAX. The pride is deserved, as Ghana has a well prepared plan for the vaccinations and has advocated strongly in order to be in the forefront of consignments.

The official launch of the vaccination campaign will be held on Tuesday 2 March. High profile Ghanaians are  expected to be vaccinated at the event. The vaccination of the population will then start with front-line health workers and other people at high-risk.
