COVID vaccinations ongoing in all 10 regions –Anthony

The ongoing COVID-19 inoculation process is proceeding well according to Minister of Health, Dr Frank Anthony while emphasising that healthcare workers should have no fear of losing their jobs should they refuse the vaccine.

The minister made these and other remarks during his COVID-19 update yesterday. He informed that the vaccination programme began on Monday in all ten regions with teams being deployed to different parts of the country and so far reporting a good response. However, he was unable to shed light on the total number of persons vaccinated so far. Nevertheless, he committed to providing those numbers at a later date after the figures have been compiled.

“So far yesterday [Monday] has been a good day and we expect as we go through this immunisation programne that we will get more people coming out, more people would know where the sites are, and so forth, and we will get more people vaccinated in a shorter period of time”, Anthony said.
