With COVID-19 vaccinations at an all-time low, Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony is pleading with the unvaccinated to safeguard themselves and for those eligible to get boosters to come forward as the availability of WHO-recognised shots is not a problem.
“One of the reasons you still have a problem is because those who have underlying illnesses are not taking the vaccines. If unvaccinated the challenge is they would end up in the hospital. To protect themselves it is better to get vaccinated and I am pleading with them to do it,” Anthony told Stabroek News yesterday.
“Also, there are some studies that have shown that if vaccinated, it can help prevent the symptoms and possibility of long COVID if that person should contract it,” he added.
