All businesses – whether involved in pharmaceuticals or not – have a stake in the rollout of the covid19 vaccines. The faster the population is inoculated, the sooner economic activity can make a rebound.

The Ansa McAl Group has pledged to provide vaccines to its 6,000-strong workforce across the Caribbean and assist in the vaccination programme when vaccines become widely available.
