‘Does a company have the right to mandate its employees to take the vaccine?’ was a question posed to health authorities at the National Emergency Operations Centre (NEOC) COVID-19 Briefing held on Wednesday 10th March 2021.
Individuals in St.Kitts-Nevis who can take the COVID-19 vaccine are being encouraged to do so and not have the mindset of reserving to be in the percentage of the population outside of the desired coverage of at least 70%.
Individuals in St.Kitts-Nevis need not to worry about what phase number of priority groups they fall into as it relates to the National COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout programme since the health authorities are no longer following that order system.
The “quickest way for us to get back to normal” has being listed by Medical Chief of Staff at the Joseph N. France General Hospital Dr. Cameron Wilkinson among “ten good reasons” given as to why individuals in St.Kitts and Nevis should get vaccinated as part of the roll out plan using the Oxford/AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hazel Laws is encouraging individuals who fall in the high risk priority groups that comprise Stage One of the vaccination to make an appointment to get their health care jab.

A non-national engaged couple on St.Kitts recently found themselves on the wrong side of the law as it relates to COVID-19 quarantine rules having been arrested and paid fines of $10,000 in the aftermath of risking the penalties to meet up face to face.
When a follow-up was sought concerning the recent quarantine breach involving a COVID-19 patient leaving a particular facility and travelled on a bus, an official of the National COVID-19 Task Force Dr. Cameron Wilkinson revealed that criminal charges are not likely to be brought against anyone.
Chief Medical Officer Dr. Hazel Laws has pointed out that science and new information is suggesting that wearing two face masks at one time gives additional protection against the new variants of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Contact Tracing along with a police investigation is on in St.Kitts after a positive COVID-19 patient left quarantine causing over 20 individuals to be exposed to the virus including a public service driver in a matter that could possibly see criminal charges being filed.
“I want to share the bigger picture. It would be nice if we can go through this pandemic with just a few cases and not experience any cluster of cases or community transmission. We can do so if we hold strain and continue doing what we have and even be more effective in doing what we have been doing until we gain access to the vaccines and start to roll out the vaccines because once [we] start vaccinating our population, the individuals who are vaccinated, they would develop some level of immunity having received the vaccine and so if we are exposed to the virus, it would not take hold; we wouldn’t get clusters, we won’t get community transmission…”
Superintendent of Police Cromwell Henry says police have been seeing individuals who are not wearing their face masks in public places as is required by law and is therefore warning that penalties still exist in light of the COVID-19 pandemic.
