Jamaica – Health and Wellness Minister Dr Christopher Tufton is being blasted by several Jamaicans for plans to bar unvaccinated Jamaicans from attending several upcoming public events.
Speaking last Wednesday at the official opening of the new field hospital at the Savanna-la-Mar Public Hospital in Westmoreland, Tufton revealed the government’s plan to favour those citizens who opted to get inoculated against COVID-19.
According to Tufton, the decision “is a controversial position, but it is a position that the Government has endorsed”.
The health minister’s revelations have emanated a firestorm of backlash across social media platforms as some feel that these decisions go against Prime Minister Andrew Holness’ previous rhetoric that the country was moving into a phase of living with COVID-19.
