VI executes 500-600 COVID-19 vaccinations per day - Hon Malone
In a statement at the Sixth Sitting of the Third Session of the Fourth House of Assembly (HoA) on March 10, 2021, Hon Carvin Malone revealed the community health centre approach adopted by the government for vaccination rollout, has allowed the vaccine to reach citizens across the territory.
“Using this community vaccination approach, we have been able to achieve between 500 to 600 vaccinations per day with the exception of the days that the program was placed on hold due to concerns,” he said.
Second batch of vaccines in new week – Hon Malone
Those concerns the Minister revealed, were as a result of uncertainty with the arrival date for the second shipment of AstraZeneca vaccines from the United Kingdom and it led to a 4-day pause of vaccination from March 3 to 8, 2021.
With some 5031 persons having since received vaccination in the territory as of March 10, 2021, the Health Minister said that vaccination number accounts for 4113 individuals on Tortola, 770 on Virgin Gorda, 68 on Anegada and 80 on Jost van Dyke.
Hon Malone said UK through Governor John J. Rankin, CMG has since indicated that the next batch of 12,000 vaccines would arrive in the VI on March 17, 2021.

My people perish from lack of knowledge
That all said no one is forcing you have the vaccine if you dont want it. Just dont go crying if you cant get treatment for other conditions cos the hospital is dealing with COVID patients

It is safe, and the more people take it the more effective. And the reason for that is that the disease is so dangerous And to be protected from it is a great gift. For your other point, if you do not test and catch this dangerous thing early whole nations can be incapacitated and many live lost. That is Food for Thought for those that are able to hear. It is so dangerous because people like yourself cannot see the danger to yourself and seem to not care about the danger to others.
I get it that some of you like to believe in conspiracies, it makes you feel smarter than the people who were better than you at school and who have done more with their lives. Still doesn't change that you lack any critical thinking skills when presented with fake news and are dumb as a bag of rocks. COVID will sadly put natural selection into action for a lot of people. Look at the people in the US that were vaccine or virus sceptics that have succumbed to the virus, dont matter what you believe when COVID come calling. Many people will be fortunate to survive but many will not and if you are happy transmitting a virus to others and putting their health at risk you need to own that rather than hiding behind it all being some vast conspiracy
Someone posted a media link to the dramatic fall in cases in the UK and the next person said don't trust the media. So where are you getting all your information from? Suddenly everyone is reading the BMJ, The Lancet, Nature research journals?
So BVI - what is the plan? How long do you think we are going to survive at this rate? Some businesses can survive a year or two with minimal business as they eat through their cash reserves. But by the end of this year, or likely summer, we will see more and more closures. If on the other hand we do start to open back up as enough persons get vaccinated we will only be able to welcome tourists who have had their vaccinations which is what many countries are starting to implement. Similarly, tourism and front line workers will need to have the vaccine to be able to service those persons.
I am sure this will get lots of unlikes but also no alternative solutions - just the usual rebuttal about go and live on salt island and not wanting to be a guinea pig.
