Deyalsingh: Covid19 vaccine will be free of charge
Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh
Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said when the covid19 vaccine becomes available to the population at large, “all human beings” including non-nationals, would have access to it free of charge.
He recalled that in 2019 Cabinet approved the provision of public health care to non-nationals including “immunisation and treatment of communicable diseases” and “other high-risk infectious diseases.”
He reminded that under the Covax facility, TT would receive vaccines approved by the World Health Organization. And although the Pfizer vaccine has been approved for emergency use in the United States, UK, Canada, Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, no covid19 vaccine has been approved by WHO.
