PHILIPSBURG (DCOMM): - Everyone who received their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine three weeks ago at the White & Yellow Cross Care Foundation (WYCCF) and the Sint Maarten Medical Center (SMMC), is scheduled to receive their second dose this week or next week.
Three weeks ago, when the vaccination campaign started on Sint Maarten, the WYCCF and SMMC administered their staff and clients with their first dose of the COVID-19 vaccine. After that, the WYCCF continued for another week with the first registered persons 60 years or older. This group will receive their second dose this week or next week. If you were in this group, your next appointment at the WYCCF or SMMC will be at the exact same time and date as it was three weeks ago.
