With a language barrier seen as a challenge to vaccination against COVID-19 in some parts of Region One, Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony has said a specialised campaign may have to be undertaken.
According to the Department of Public Information (DPI), Anthony floated the proposal on Friday during a visit to Mabaruma, where he stopped at the COVID-19 vaccination site in the compound of the Mabaruma Regional Hospital and was told of the challenge.
Indigenous languages are spoken in the region in addition to English.
