Members of the public should note that only childhood vaccinations will be administered during the outreach this coming Saturday. No COVID-19 vaccinations will be done on that day.
No COVID-19 vaccinations will be done on that day. All polyclinics will participate in the outreach with the exception of the Winston Scott, Eunice Gibson, Edgar Cochrane and The Glebe Polyclinics. (BGIS)
