Health officials not likely to reach end-of-year vaccination goal

Public health officials are reporting an approximate 50 per cent dip in the average daily vaccination rate over the last two weeks, which is being blamed partly on a sickout among nurses and public holidays.Co-Coordinator of the National Vaccination Campaign, Dr Elizabeth Ferdinand has, however, rejected the notion that this country’s vaccine rates have somehow reached its plateau, noting that more than 10,000 eligible children still have not received the jab.Since November 24, the total number of first doses taken rose by just 965, from 153,261 to 154,226. Meanwhile, the number of fully vaccinated people moved from 135,721 to 138,857, an increase of 3,136.

Union head praises SVG vax protest but not attack

Outspoken Opposition Senator Caswell Franklyn has praised union-led protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in St Vincent, saying they should serve as a wake-up call for trade unions here.However, he made it clear he was opposed to the outbreak of violence in Kingstown that resulted in Vincentian Prime Minister Dr Ralph Gonsalves suffering a head injury when a protestor hurled an object at him as he made his way to Parliament on Thursday.Franklyn, the founder and General Secretary of the Unity Workers’ Union (UWU), condemned the assault that occurred during a demonstration led by two public sector unions and the main opposition New Democratic Party (NDP) which are all against a legislative change that would require frontline workers to take the COVID-19 vaccine to stay on the job.
