Rejecting claims made by an opposition parliamentarian, the Ministry of Health on Friday stated that no nursing students have been forced to take COVID-19 vaccines.
In a statement, the ministry noted that it was refuting claims made by a Member of Parliament on social media which alleged that nursing students at the New Amsterdam Nursing School were being forced to take COVID-19 vaccines.
When Stabroek News made checks, a post by opposition Chief Whip Christopher Jones on Thursday stated that nurses of the said school were forcefully told that they have to take the COVID-19 vaccine without prior consultation or checks.
