Don’t show up at vaccination centres without an appointment.

Minister of Health Jeffrey Bostic and co-coordinator of the National COVID-19 vaccination campaign Major David Clarke both made that plea yesterday following the number of people who appeared at some of the centres in recent days.

During an address to the country, Bostic said that as of midday yesterday, 16 111 vaccines had been administered and that he was confident they would exceed 20 000 before the week ended.

While he said Prime Minister Mia Amor Mottley was working towards getting more vaccines for every citizen and long-stay visitors, Bostic warned the public not to bombard the facilities unannounced. (TG)
