Ghana's Food and Drugs Authority (FDA) has cautioned the general public against the purchase and sale of COVID-19 vaccines online.
The Authority said the importation and deployment of two vaccines currently approved in country –Sputnik V and Covishield –are under the control of only the Ministry of Health and the Ghana Health Service.
The FDA's statement follows reports of a seizure of hundreds of fake COVID-19 vaccines in South Africa.
Four suspects have been arrested in connection with the haul, the Interpol global police co-ordination agency said.
