Young adults have begun streaming into vaccination centres to get their COVID-19 shots after the government announced on Thursday that persons 18 years and over were eligible from yesterday.
Those who spoke with Stabroek News yesterday said they felt that the vaccine would protect them and reduce the risk of transmission of the virus to family members.
The lowering of the eligibility age to 18 means that hundreds of thousands of persons are now eligible to be inoculated.
