Barbadians are encouraged to take their relatives and friends to get vaccinated.
The latest appeal has come from members of the entertainment fraternity who say a resumption of major events in the sector depends on more people getting their jab for COVID-19.
Party promoter and former president of the Barbados Association of Masqueraders, Chetwin Stewart, was among the group spotted at Abed’s in Swan Street, The City, yesterday distributing T-shirts to the vaccinated.
“The Prime Minister said it and it is common sense. The ban won’t be lifted until you reach a certain percentage of people being vaccinated and that is what we in the entertainment industry need. Persons like me haven’t worked for over a year and a half and we need to get back to work.
“The entertainment industry is way bigger than promoters like me, DJs and calypsonians. There are lighting and stage people and it affects the sales of hair, nails and drinks,” Stewart said. (TG)
