“We have hard-to-reach communities in the district. Communities like Koware, Biaso, Kasapee; there is a river Bia around those areas so when it rains and it overflows its bounds, you cannot cross to do malaria vaccination. Currently, the piloting is taking place in 42 districts selected from seven regions of Ghana including the Asutifi North district of the Ahafo Region. The second dose is administered when the child is seven month old, the third dose is given when the child turns nine months old and the final and fourth dose given to the child at age two. Mr. Dam-Park however expressed that despite the challenges in covering the hard-to-reach communities in the Asutifi North, there has been a satisfactory result gained since the malaria cases have seen a downward trend.
