T&T Begins Covid-19 Vaccine Rollout Today

By Newsroom

Some 50-100 healthcare workers are set to receive their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine at the Couva Hospital this afternoon, as Trinidad and Tobago officially begins its vaccine rollout.

The event will begin at 2pm and will be attended by media. 

Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh will also be in attendance.

The vaccines recently arrived in Trinidad and Tobago as a gift from Barbados.

T&T is still expected to receive its share of 100,000 vaccines from the COVAX facility in early March.

The North Central Regional Health Authority said the rollout will extend to healthcare and frontline workers at COVID-19 facilities, including the Arima Hospital, Caura Hospital, Eric Williams Medical Sciences Complex, Couva Hospital Facility, as well as its step-down facilities.
