Holness: JLP gov't will provide free COVID vaccines

Prime Minister Andrew Holness says free COVID-19 vaccines will be provided for all Jamaicans under the Jamaica Labour Party (JLP) government.

The announcement was made via his his Twitter account this morning.

He said the government would move into action once there is a safe, tested vaccine.

“Unlike others, we know what to do to manage the coronavirus,” he said.

Up to Tuesday, Jamaica’s COVID-19 tally stood at 1,146 cases with 770 recoveries and 14 deaths.

The health ministry reported yesterday that there are now 293 active cases being monitored including nine moderately ill persons and one critically ill.
