Ghana has become the first country to receive coronavirus vaccines through the Covax vaccine-sharing initiative.

A delivery of 600,000 doses of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine arrived in Ghana yesterday.

BBC News reports the first recipients are due to be healthcare workers.

The Covax scheme aims to reduce the divide between rich countries and poorer nations unable to buy doses.

The Covax scheme was set up by the WHO.

It hopes to deliver more than two billion doses to people in 190 countries including Fiji in less than a year.
