Approximately 46.9% of Guyana’s adult population has so far received their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine with the health minister noting that the country has an open policy in its vaccination programme.
These remarks were made during Dr Frank Anthony’s daily COVID-19 update where he informed that some 228,337 persons have so far received their first-dose vaccine while 99,764 persons have been fully immunised, accounting for 20.5% of the country’s adult population.
The minister noted that even though there are approximately 100 sites in operation on a daily basis, authorities have noticed a decline in some areas, but suggested that in some cases, it might be due to the flooding that has occurred in some of the regions.
