The Ministry of Health has advised that a range of World Health Organization approved COVID-19 vaccines have been made available at locations throughout the country for members of the public 18 years and above, including the Pfizer vaccine for children 12 – 18 years of age.
In a media release on Tuesday, the Ministry said vaccines are available in all 5 Regional Health Authorities, at all 109 Health Centres, in addition to the advertised Mass Vaccination sites. Members of the public can therefore access the vaccines at locations most convenient to them.
The Ministry also noted that no appointment is required and the public will be facilitated on a first-come, first-served basis, based on vaccine availability.
The public is further encouraged to take advantage of any opportunity to receive a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as possible and to continue to follow the public health protocols and the ‘3Ws’ – Wear Your Mask, Watch Your Distance and Wash Your Hands.
