- A study was conducted in Ghana between February and December 2021 to assess the seroprevalence of SARS-CoV-2 using a nationally representative sample of participants 5 years and older, collecting data on various risk factors.
- The results showed a seroprevalence of 67.10%, with lower rates in males and individuals over 20, while young adults aged 20-39 had the highest rates.
- The findings indicate that vaccination coverage was only 10%, and heightened infection risk in urban areas suggests a need for better vaccination efforts and adherence to preventive measures, especially in rural regions.
