GOVERNMENT TARGETS HERD IMMUNITY WITHIN WEEKS

A major developing story this evening because the government has announced plans to make available COVID-19 vaccines to about 80 thousand in 35 days.
It’s a target which would allow the country to attain herd immunity and protect against hospitalizations and deaths from the viral illness.
Information Minister Hon. Melford Nicholas announced those plans during this morning’s post-cabinet media briefing.
This evening, we have more comprehensive coverage on a national vaccination programme set to gather momentum in coming weeks.
