Barbadians are lining up to take the Pfizer vaccine, saying it is the best option for travelling and for health.

At Sea Rocks Dome, Maxwell Coast Road, Christ Church, yesterday, Brent Lynch said Pfizer was the best choice for him after some initial hesitancy.

“I was hesitant about taking any vaccine until I heard Pfizer was FDA [United States Food and Drug Administration] approved. A lot of people are not educated about vaccines but I’ve done my research and I chose Pfizer because of its efficacy and the protection it provides,” he told the DAILY NATION.

Even so, Lynch admitted he still had reservations but did not have the luxury of allowing them to prevent him from taking the jab. (CA)
