COVID vaccines for all from 18 and above from tomorrow – Ramsammy

COVID-19 vaccinations will begin from tomorrow, April 15 for all persons above 18, according to Dr Leslie Ramsammy, Advisor to the Minister of Health..

He made this announcement this afternoon on his Facebook page.

The rationale behind the decision was not announced and it comes amid views that  all persons who would like to be vaccinated should be offered the shot.

Significant vaccine hesitancy has been reported in some communities here and this could affect the target date for the attainment of herd immunity – where around 80% of the population has been vaccinated.
