February 18, 2021
Former immunization manager, Nurse Julietta Cassius, became Saint Lucia’s first citizen to be vaccinated.
She encouraged citizens to get vaccinated when their number is called especially those who have already tested positive for the virus. “Even with natural immunity it is still not full immunity so regardless of one having the virus it is still important to receive the vaccine.”
Prime Minister Allen Chastanet, his wife, Minister of Health Mary Isaac and CMO Dr. Sharon Belmar-George, former CMO Dr. Stephen King who opined that the vaccine in his view is our only way out, were among the frontliners receiving their first jab.
