High powered group ready to assist with vaccine financing
Article by March 3, 2021
A year-old, locally-owned private company made up of high-powered businessmen is anxiously standing by to invest in Government’s proposed national vaccination fund to purchase additional doses.
Chairman of the COVID-19 Relief and Recovery (Barbados) Inc, Andrew Mallalieu revealed that the company is only awaiting word from Prime Minister Mottley – who last week suggested calling on the organisation.
“We have people who have contributed for the purchase of the vaccination and that sum has been raised and as soon as the Prime Minister and her team are able to source and call on us to help with the funding, we will disburse the funds – but we have not had that call as yet. We are anxiously awaiting the call to say that she has managed to source it because I think she said last week until she knows for sure she will get it, she isn’t saying anything,” Mallalieu told
