TÃA (The Guam Daily Post) â Guam could miss its 80% adult vaccination goal by July 21 â unless many of the 4,727 individuals who have missed their second dose of the Covid-19 vaccine for weeks get fully vaccinated Tuesday, officials said.
This comes as Guam reported its 143rd Covid-19-related death on Sunday night, involving a 75-year-old female who was vaccinated, with underlying health conditions. While I have promised the people of Guam that I will lift restrictions upon achieving Operation Liberate Guam, I am faced with the harsh reality that we may fall short of our aggressive goal, Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero said at a press conference.

HAGÃ
TÃA (The Guam Daily Post) â Dispelled myths about the vaccine for the coronavirus have spread to the indigenous population of Guam, most of whom have not received their shots to be protected from the disease s worst symptoms. I hear concerns about it changing their DNA, and the word they use to describe this is zombies. So, how do you quell that? said Jesse Alig, mayor of Piti and president of the Mayors Council of Guam.
Alig said he s heard these concerns from CHamoru residents of his home village, regardless of age.
The Department of Public Health and Social Services released data showing just 43% of CHamoru people, the largest ethnic group in Guam, are vaccinated. Local rates for Asian populations, specifically local Korean, Chinese and Filipino residents, are all above 70%, according to the same report. Misinformation about the vaccine may be leading to the low numbers for CHamoru adults, Alig said.
