At about midday today, Guyana surpassed 50,000 vaccinations, according to Dr Leslie Ramsammy, advisor to the Minister of Health.
In a statement, he said: “It is still a far ways to go but it is an important milestone. Thirty one countries around the world have not yet administered a single dose. Barbados with over 60000 is the only Caribbean country ahead of Guyana. By this time next week, Guyana will rank # 1 in CARICOM for vaccination. This means that 10 out of every 100 adult Guyanese would have received a first dose. This puts Guyana ahead of most countries around the world. We want to ensure that we vaccinate another 100000 by the end of April. Help us”.
