There has been another seamless start to a day of the administration of covid19 vaccines in central Trinidad.
Newsday visited the Freeport Health Centre on Wednesday morning to get a firsthand look at the process.
From 6 am, patients with appointments began trickling in. Those without appointments were guided to make the necessary arrangements by phone and return on the given date.
Kumar Lall said, I was unsure of the process and came to enquire about it. I was told I needed to make an appointment. The staff was friendly and assisted me with all my questions and concerns.
Jean Cozier and Kenneth Cozier received their covid19 vaccine at the Marabella Health Centre on Tuesday. -
There was reportedly a smooth covid19 vaccination rollout at the health facilities run by the South West Regional Health Authority (SWRHA).
Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said at a media conference that 274 doses had been administered by 2 pm on Tuesday at the SWRHA.
The SWRHA said the administration had been smooth and seamless so far because of the efforts of its employees and valued patients.
Asked what was the projected number of vaccines to be administered by the end of the day, it said, “We reserve comment or release of such figures due to the fluidity and constant monitoring.”
