More than 15,000 vaccinations administered so far
NASSAU, BAHAMAS — As rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine continues, the Office of the Prime Minister (OPM) yesterday announced expansion of the list of those eligible to include anyone 50 years old and over, restaurant workers, retail workers and people with disabilities and their caregivers.
The expansion comes as The Bahamas seeks to inoculate 80 percent of the population and as health officials grapple with vaccine hesitancy among some members of society.
Governor General CA Smith receives his first dose of the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine at Loyola Hall, Gladstone Road, last month.
The OPM statement noted that vaccination appointments can be made via the website https://vax.gov.bs for the Kendal G L Isaacs National Gymnasium; Loyola Hall, Gladstone Road; Church of God of Prophecy, East Street; Baha Mar; Atlantis, Paradise Island; and the Susan J Wallace Community Center, Grand Bahama.
