Independence vaccine ‘drive thru’ planned

With over 1,000 receiving vaccines during last Saturday’s vaccination drive-thru event at the National Stadium, another has already been planned for tomorrow.

This disclosure was made by Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony yesterday during his daily COVID-19 update, where he stated that there was a good response to the vaccination drive. “We had a steady flow of cars coming in and we were able to do 931 first doses and 140 second doses,” he said, while adding that it was one of the sites where the ministry has had the highest yield of persons coming to be inoculated.

This, he said, could be attributed to how comfortable the process is as persons don’t have to get out of their vehicles even as the staff that were conducting the exercise were proactive and ensured that persons were comfortable and well informed.
