Vaccine hesitancy among healthcare workers still a concern as “more non-healthcare workers are being vaccinated”
NASSAU, BAHAMAS The government is aiming to have 80 percent of Bahamians and residents vaccinated to achieve herd immunity, according to Chief Medical Officer Dr Pearl McMillan.
As she gave an update on the current situation of cases and vaccinations in the country, McMillan urged Bahamians to continue to follow mitigation protocols and opt to get vaccinated.

“Things that can wait should wait,” she said.
“Vaccinations have started, but until we get the critical number of about 80 percent of Bahamians vaccinated, the only way to slow the spread of this virus remains to avoid close contact with people, wearing masks and sanitizing.”
Team Bahamas off to Puerto Rico The Bahamas senior men’s national basketball squad.
The Bahamas’ senior men’s national basketball team is off to Puerto Rico with one goal in mind – finish off the FIBA (International Basketball Federation) AmeriCup 2022 Qualifiers with a spot in the top 12 who will play in the regional final in September of 2022.
To do that, the country must earn at least a split against the United States and Puerto Rico this weekend. The Bahamas will play the United States this Friday and Puerto Rico on Saturday. Both games are set for the Roberto Clemente Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
