As the covid19 vaccination drive continued on Monday, people visiting the Barataria and La Horquetta health centres were generally pleased with the new appointment system.
Last Friday it was reported that some people with appointments were unable to get the AstraZeneca vaccine, and concerns were repeated about difficulty in making appointments by phone or WhatsApp.
