The Ghana Health Service has established a desk at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) for the verification of vaccination status for travellers.
It follows the inability of some vaccinated individuals, especially those travelling out of the country, to verify their proof of vaccination using the Barcode (QR code) on their COVID-19 vaccination cards or via the https://covid19vaccination.gov.gh/verify portal.
A statement signed by the Director-General of the Ghana Health Service (GHS), Dr Patrick Kuma-Aboagye said: “In the interim, a desk has been set up at the Kotoka International Airport (KIA) for verification of vaccination status for travelers.
“Fully vaccinated outbound travelers (i.e., received two doses of AstraZeneca or Sputnik-V vaccine) departing from KIA should contact the Vaccination Verification Desk of the Port Health Unit at the Departure Hall of KIA to verify their vaccination status prior to departure.”
The Ghana Health Service said other fully vaccinated individuals desirous of verifying their vaccination status should visit the nearest health facility or District Health Directorate for assistance.
