Although government has lifted most of the COVID-19 restrictions, including requirements for persons to show proof of vaccination for access to public buildings, Minister of Heath Dr. Frank Anthony on Monday called on Essequibo residents to get vaccination in order to safeguard themselves and families against the virus.
Anthony made the call at the launching of a three-day COVID-19 Vaccine Hesitancy Workshop, held at Henrietta.
Speaking to healthcare workers, toshaos and religious leaders in the conference hall at Jaigobin Hotel, Anthony said that Region Two is behind with its vaccination figures as only 68% of the adult population in the region is fully vaccinated.
