His comment comes on the back of claims that Ghana has acquired Sputnik V vaccine at a cost higher than the international market price. Speaking on 3FM Friday, June 11, Dr Nsiah Asare said government is opened to receive proposals that can help Ghana get vaccines at a lower price. “If anybody can get these vaccines for 10 dollars, go to the Ministry of Health and tell them you can get it for 10 dollars,” he said. He added, “We are all working as one country to make sure that we safeguard the people, we get the herd immunity that we need at a very reasonable price for everybody.”More controversy keeps coming up regarding government’s procurement of Russia’s Sputnik V for COVID-19 vaccination in the country. The Ranking Member on Parliament’s Health Committee, Kwabena Mintah Akandoh, has accused government of making unfounded excuses to secure the Sputnik V vaccines at a higher cost.
