Second Dose of AstraZeneca Vaccine Being Given to Phase One
COVID-19 vaccinations are now entering the second round for the people who were part of phase one, meaning frontline healthcare workers, persons sixty and older and those with special conditions. This is approximately two and a half months after they received their dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine. Duane Moody was out at vaccination centres in Belize City today and has this report.

“We’ve had a lot of people coming back for their second dose. People have been making their lines; I feel we have been very efficient and persons have been able to get the vaccines throughout the day. We have different sites in Belize District that people can go to. We have our staff at these sites helping with the flow to be very efficient and effective and we are encouraging anyone who is due the second dose to come in and get the second dose of the vaccine.”
