Jamaica Tourism calls for united Caribbean voice against vaccine inequity
6 days ago
As regional stakeholders ramp up efforts to woo back tourists and rebuild the sector in the aftermath of the fallout caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, Jamaica Minister of Tourism, Hon. Edmund Bartlett, has called on Caribbean leaders to raise their voices collectively against vaccine inequity.
Only one in more than 500 people in poorer countries has received the COVID-19 vaccination.
At the current rate, the world’s poorest 92 countries will not be able to reach a vaccination rate of 60 percent of their populations until 2023 or later.
Without equity in the distribution of vaccines, there will be no recovery for tourism and the economy.
