Vulnerable Gozo residents will no longer have to travel to Malta for vaccine

A decision to force elderly Gozo residents to travel to Malta twice for their COVID-19 vaccine and booster shot has been reversed.  Superintendent of Public Health Charmaine Gauci announced on Friday that Gozitans classified as being vulnerable will in the coming days receive another letter with an appointment in Gozo.  The issue was flagged by PN MP Chris Said on Thursday after several vulnerable Gozitans received appointment letters to get their vaccine shots in Malta.  Said had  said that medical frontliners in Gozo are also being asked to get their vaccines in Malta. Said accused the authorities of lacking common sense by taking such an approach. 

Vulnerable Gozitans asked to travel to Malta for Covid vaccine

Gozitan MP Chris Said has blasted the “unacceptable” practice of asking vulnerable Gozitans as well as frontliners to get vaccinated in Malta.  Taking to Facebook, Said wrote that he had received information about various Gozitans classified as vulnerable being asked to travel to Malta twice for their COVID-19 vaccine donations.  He said the same also applied to Gozitan frontliners.  “If this is true, the situation is unacceptable. It makes no sense for Gozitans, especially the vulnerable, to be sent to Malta to get their vaccine.”  Said accused the authorities of lacking common sense by taking such an approach.  The MP urged the government and health authorities to find a solution that allows all Gozitans to receive the COVID vaccine in Gozo.
