BASSETERRE (Friday 5th March 2021) — Medical Chief of Staff Dr. Cameron Wilkinson gave ten good reasons to get vaccinated at the weekly NEOC COVID-19 Briefing on Wednesday 3rd March. Among them: the vaccine is free; it is highly effective (82%+ efficacy); it saves lives; it is safe and does not affect DNA; it protects those around you; it protects the health system; it keeps your cash flow strong; it protects future generations; it helps prevent misinformation spreading; and “it is the quickest way for us to get back to normal — no more masks, no more social distancing, safe travel, no quarantine, hugs with friends and family, concerts, sporting events.” Over 2,000 persons had been vaccinated in the Federation within just eight days of the rollout launch.
