Dr Keith Rowley
THE Prime Minister on Sunday said several countries are facing the challenge of what he called “vaccine apartheid” as they try to access covid19 vaccines for their populations during the pandemic.
Dr Rowley made this observation as he dismissed allegations from Oropouche West MP Dave Tancoo that the Government was using the covid19 pandemic to achieve political benefits for itself and was causing the population and the economy to suffer because of its failure to acquire covid19 vaccines.
At a news conference at the Opposition Leader’s Office in Port of Spain, Tancoo said, “To date, we cannot tell when the vaccines will arrive in TT. He said several other Caricom countries have already received covid19 vaccines and are starting to distribute them to their citizens to help reopen their economies.
