The GHS reports that most of the fatalities were reported within 24 hours of the individuals’ admission.
With 17 documented deaths, the Western Region—the state that made the revelation—is the most affected.
According to the GHS, 662,906 of the 792,482 eligible individuals in the Western Region have received vaccinations.
