Church refuses polio vaccination

Agona Swedru, April 10, GNA – Ms Cynthia Obbu, Coordinator at the District Health Management Team (DHMT) has expressed regrets about the inability of health personnel and volunteers to vaccinate children of the Jesus Christ Apostolic Faith Church at Agona Asafo against polio. Members of the Church have persistently refused to allow their children to be immunised according to the doctrine of the church. Ms Obbu said the problem had become a big one for personnel at the Directorate, adding that, “if any of these children is infected by the polio virus or any of the six killer childhood diseases it would be difficult to handle”.
