Vaccination Blitz Continues This Weekend

Minister of Health and Wellness, Dr. the Hon. Christopher Tufton, says that the vaccination blitz will continue this weekend in several parishes.

“We are active across the country with our regular blitz operation this Saturday and Sunday and we urge persons to go out and get vaccinated. If you can’t get an appointment online or through the phone lines, go to the site.

We prefer the appointment but don’t let a lack of appointment stop you,” he said.
