Uptake of COVID-19 booster doses still lagging – Anthony

Dr. Frank Anthony

Saying the uptake of booster doses to bolster immunisation against COVID-19 remains “inadequate,” Health Minister Dr Frank Anthony on Wednesday appealed to those who are due to receive their shots to get them.

During his COVID-19 update, Dr Anthony noted that new infections were still being recorded and highlighted that a small percentage of those cases require hospitalisation and even intensive care.

Anthony pointed out that in most cases those requiring hospitalisation are unvaccinated and as a result he urged that persons get vaccinated or boosted.
