Supermarkets head calls for partnership to buy more covid19 vaccines
Rajiv Diptee, president of the Supermarket Association of Trinidad and Tobago.
The Supermarkets Association of Trinidad and Tobago (SATT) has said it was time the government implored the assistance of the private sector to ensure herd inoculation against the covid19 virus.
In a media statement on Tuesday, its president Rajiv Diptee said not enough was being done to protect citizens and restart the economy, which was on the brink of collapse.
He said, “The prerogative of the state is to address the basic needs of its citizenry; if the state has by its own means not accessed a satisfactory number of vaccines to satisfy the requirements necessary for mass vaccination, the private sector including the SATT knows what needs to be done. We cannot see these persons in our communities continue like this any more.”
