Health Minister says vaccination works, will explore getting Pfizer and Moderna vaccines

Written by on July 13, 2021

The Health Minister said it is a proven fact that vaccination work.

Minister Malone said that the current doses of vaccines that they have will expire on July 31, but they have continued to administer first doses. He said the rate of administration is not high enough, they need that rate to be increased because the UK has already indicated through the Governor that another 3,040 doses will be supplied on the 19th of July 2021 and this batch will expire sometime in August. 

In August they have committed to more, but it will not make any sense for them to continue to get these doses if they don’t use them effectively. Minister Malone also said they will find ways in which those persons who are requiring Pfizer and Moderna vaccines could possibly have access to them if this is their only hold up from vaccination.
