The acquisition of the COVID-19 vaccine and roll out of the vaccination programme were praised by the Executive Director of the Caribbean Public Health Agency (CARPHA), Dr Joy St John.
“We are living in historic times and I have never seen, even though I was involved in the Barbados response to the H1N1 pandemic and have done adult MMR catch-up campaigns, I have never seen anything like the way in which Barbados and other countries in the Caribbean have geared themselves up and been prepared to deliver the vaccine.
“Taking the vaccine, if you so choose to do, is perhaps the Caribbean’s best chance in finding the good balance between lives and livelihood and returning to economic activity. For those of us who have been given the privilege of access, because access is hard fought for, once we want to do it you should not walk but walk briskly or even run to get the vaccine.”
“The benefits from the vaccine significantly exceed any risk of the vaccine.”
This is the view of the Director of the Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business and Management, Professor Justin Robinson, on the COVID-19 vaccine. He asserts that the economic crisis is worsening faster now than the health crisis and using the vaccine as a mechanism to stave the health crisis will have a long-term effect on the former.
Robinson was speaking last week in a webinar series of broadcasts via Zoom from the Sagicor Cave Hill School of Business and Management entitled ‘COVID-19- Debunking Myths of the Jab’.
