| The donation of 100,000 doses of the Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine from India has sparked a major vaccination effort in Barbados that resulted in approximately 12.5% of the island population receiving their first shots within two weeks. Frontline workers, including those in the tourism sector, were among those who received the first wave of vaccines. In a televised nationwide address, Prime Minister Mia Mottley called it "a commendable start for a country that really did not have a lot in place for vaccination program." The vaccine rollout marked the fourth step in Barbados' Covid-19 management plan that hinges on contact tracing, public health protocols and Operation Seek and Save. In the Seek and Save program, public health officials visit communities to try and locate individuals who could unknowingly be infected and offer them early healthcare measures.
