With two COVID-19 vaccination sites functioning in Georgetown, hundreds of persons came forward yesterday to be inoculated, with one simply saying “I just want to be safe,” and after receiving their doses at State House, President Irfaan Ali and First Lady Arya Ali have urged all those eligible to come forward and take their shots.
On Thursday, some 1,330 persons across the country received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, according to the Ministry of Health. The current vaccination drive is for persons 60 years and older. Frontline health care workers have also been vaccinated.
To cater for the large number of persons residing in the city, two vaccination sites have been established at the Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) and the Ministry of Health (MoH), with several more sites yet to be identified.
