Over 15,000 persons have so far been vaccinated against COVID-19, according to Health Minister Dr. Frank Anthony, who says the ongoing countrywide immunisation programme is going well so far.
“…To date we have done 15,524 immunisations across the country. I think it’s going well. I think more and more people are coming out,” Anthony said during Friday’s COVID-19 update, while adding that there are certain areas that need improvement.
One of the areas where he said the outreach can be improved is in Linden, in Region 10, where the authorities are seeking to have more of the community come out to be vaccinated. “I think we need to get more of the community out and we need people of influence in Linden to advocate for the vaccine because as you know once you are immunised it protects you from getting the more severe forms of COVID,” he said.
