The Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP) has spoken out against the recent attempts by the government to “bribe” residents to get vaccinated, and has called them ineffective.
Harold Lovell addressed the matter at the UPP’s Virtual Meeting on Thursday and echoed similar comments hours later on Observer radio.
He said that bribing persons who are already quite skeptical about getting the jab does not make sense and has suggested intensive educational campaigns as the way forward in order to mitigate the dilemma.
Lovell said people need to be armed with as much information as possible to be able to make informed choices.
