As early as 5 am, hundreds of people crowded health facilities in south Trinidad on Wednesday for the mass covid19 vaccination drive.
This drive targeted people 60 and over with or without non-communicable diseases (NCDs) and people under 60 with NCDs on a walk-in, first-come, first-served basis. However, on social media word was previously spread that anyone could walk in for a shot.
Businessman Shaffeek Karamath, 57, likened the scene at the Ste Madeleine Health Centre to J’Ouvert celebrations.
