Region 10 looking at ways to boost COVID vaccine uptake – Chairman

Deron Adams

The Region 10 health department is exploring innovative ways to increase uptake of COVID-19 vaccines, according to Regional Chairman Deron Adams, who blames misinformation for vaccine hesitancy in the region.

Adams made these remarks during a telephone interview yesterday with Stabroek News as he was asked about the Regional Health Department’s most recent initiative of hosting a house-to-house inoculation drive.

“We have been looking at innovative ways to get our people vaccinated and the house-to-house vaccination is one that the office of the Regional Health Officer has activated,” Adams said.
