With the island up to 567,055 doses of COVID-19 vaccine administered up to 6 pm Thursday (September 2), the Ministry of Health and Wellness will be pushing ahead with another in a series of vaccination blitz activities this weekend.
Information on the blitz and other vaccination sites are available at https://vaccination.moh.gov.jm.
Of the more than 560,000 vaccinations to date, some 419,749 were first doses and 140,841 were second doses. Some 6,465 were single doses.
The Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to advise members of the public to get vaccinated. To do so, Jamaicans are encouraged to make their vaccination appointments online at www.moh.gov.jm or by calling the Vaccination Call Centre at 888-ONE-LOVE (888-663-5683).
Once members of the public have their appointments confirmed, they should visit their vaccination site with their government-issued identification or a letter from the Justice of the Peace. Those due a second dose will also need to take their vaccination card.
The ministry is also urging the public to remain vigilant in their adherence to infection prevention and control measures, notably, mask wearing; maintaining a physical distance from others; and frequently washing and/or sanitising hands.
On Thursday, September 2, the island recorded 735 new COVID-19 infections and confirmed 17 deaths. The new cases moved the total number of infections to 69,789 since the first case was recorded last year while the death toll moved to 1,585.
