Approximately 13,000 persons have been vaccinated since Guyana began its COVID-19 inoculation programme some weeks ago.
This is according to Advisor to the Minister of Health, Dr Leslie Ramsammy who in a report by the Department of Public Information (DPI) stated that even though close to 13,000 persons were vaccinated, more could have been done.
The DPI report stated that the Advisor disclosed that the Ministry of Health is hoping to vaccinate at least 50,000 persons who are 50 years old and older by April 11. “We are trying that by the 11th of April that we vaccinate at least 50,000 persons 50 and older. And I know that number is so large, but we are quite capable of doing that,” he told DPI.
