OVER 1300 PEOPLE VACCINATED MONDAY

Just over 1,300 members of the public received their first doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine on the first day of the roll-out of public vaccination.

Head of the Communications Team for the country’s vaccination programme, Dr. Janelle Charles Williams says elderly people have responded positively and as a result, the next two days will be dedicated to them.

She says vaccination will however continue to be administered at various statutory entities in government at the very same time.

Besides the elderly, she noted that the response has also been positive from the younger members of the country’s population.

She was quick to add however that no one will be denied but encourages everyone to get registered to facilitate a smooth and efficient process.
