He did say that failure to adhere to public health measures can result in an increase in COVID-19 infections. Dr. Anthony said with re-infection continuing to occur, people fully vaccinated but without booster shots and those still unvaccinated will need to take action.
He said there are enough vaccines in the country to accommodate first-timers and those seeking booster shots.
“If want to see a reduction in cases, if you want to see a reduction in hospitalisation, in deaths then all of us must be involved and take personal responsibility,” Dr. Anthony added.
To date, some 409, 582 adults have received the first dose of a COVID vaccine (78.8% of the adult population) while 292, 173 persons have received the second dose of a vaccine (57% of the adult population).
Meanwhile, some 29.4% of adolescents have been inoculated fully while 10, 077 persons have already received booster doses.
