NASSAU, BAHAMAS Former Prime Minister Perry Christie said he does intend to take the coronavirus vaccine when it becomes available in The Bahamas.
He joins the country’s remaining prime ministers current Prime Minister Dr Hubert Minnis and former Prime Minister Hubert Ingraham who have both previously said they, too, will take the vaccine when it becomes available.
“Most certainly whenever we are able to have the opportunity to take a vaccine, I will,” Christie said, in an interview with

“My wife and I have discussed this a long time ago and we decided that. But I want to make sure that there is no ambiguity or confusion as to whether or not over 65-years-old should take it.”
