NWRHA director: Mass vaccination sites working well
The AstraZeneca vaccine
DIRECTOR of Health at the North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) Dr Anthony Parkinson says the use of the Paddock at the Queen s Park Savannah, Port of Spain, has been successful as a vaccination distribution site thus far.
Parkinson, speaking with Newsday outside the venue on Tuesday, suggested the rollout would happen faster and more effectively if similar sites are opened, although the smaller vaccination centres were operating smoothly.
He said some 1,300 doses were administered the previous day and this would probably increase by another 1,500 by the end of Tuesday.

2-month wait for vaccines
Minister of Health Terrence Deyalsingh - Marvin Hamilton
THE EDITOR: The North West Regional Health Authority (NWRHA) is totally overwhelmed and cannot begin to handle the amount of people who have registered or called in for their covid19 vaccines.
I registered for myself and my husband on April 6 and was told by telephone on April 15 that our vaccination date is June 10. Two months from the registration date.
My husband, age 76, had a stroke and is somewhat physically disabled and has an NCD (non-communicable disease), but I do not see him going on a priority list which the Minister of Health so gleefully announced. Quite the contrary.
