UPDATE PROVIDED ON VACCINATION SITES

Report filed by Jessica Russell – News Reporter.

The 65 and older age group will be able to get vaccinated against COVID- 19 at the All Saints Secondary and Jennings Primary Schools from next Monday to Wednesday.
Information Minister Melford Nicholas says there are attempts to reach those residing in more southern parts of the island.

During these three days, vaccination sites at the Glanvilles and Villa Polyclinics will temporarily close, but will resume inoculation from the 11th of March.
The locations are open from 9 to 3:30 on weekdays but close over weekends to allow healthcare workers to focus on targeted groups.
The Health Ministry also assures people who are incapacitated and with disabilities will be prioritized for vaccination in their homes through a scheduling system.
Health Minister Sir Molwyn Joseph is delighted with the growth in the number of people turning out to be inoculated.
