HEALTH Minister Terrence Deyalsingh said now is the time for workers in the retail sector to step forward, roll up their sleeves and get vaccinated.
Deyalsingh made this statement on Tuesday after touring the Southern Academy for the Performing Arts (SAPA) in San Fernando, where food and beverage workers were being vaccinated.
Having reopened the manufacturing, construction and food sectors already, Deyalsingh said, \"We would like to open the retail sector.\"
He said various business organisations are compiling lists of retail workers in their various jurisdictions and sending them to the ministry, so they can get appointments to be vaccinated at one of the 11 mass vaccination sites or one of the two drive-through sites.
He explained, \"Members of the public should not be coming to the mass vaccination sites. These sites are being used to vaccinate major groups like food and beverage, construction and so on.\" People who are not members of any of these groups should make appointments at any of the 109 health centres in the country.
He said small, medium and large health centres can vaccinate 50, 75 and 100 people daily. \"Across the health sector they can comfortably do 7,000 a day, which is three mass vaccination sites.\"
Deyalsingh said about 1,500 people a day could be vaccinated at a mass vaccination site like SAPA.
He hoped similar numbers would be done at drive-through sites at the Ato Boldon Stadium in Couva and in Wallerfield, which will both be fully operational on Wednesday. At the former, which is being run by Proman, Deyalsingh said a pilot run on Monday saw 500 people vaccinated in four hours.
He also said the objective of the accelerated mass covid19 vaccination was to vaccinate 600,000 people by the end of September and inch ever closer to achieve herd immunity in Trinidad and Tobago, with 980,000 people fully vaccinated against covid19.
\"What we are doing now is ramping up significantly our vaccination programme. We now have in the country enough vaccines to vaccinate 400,000 people. That is 40 per cent of the adult population.\"
Deyalsingh was optimistic that about 200,000 people will be vaccinated by next weekend.
With herd immunity being roughly 70 per cent of the population, Deyalsingh reminded reporters that TT's 1.4 million population includes children.
\"Right now, we don't have vaccines registered in TT for the under-18s, so that knocks off 400,000 people.\"
Excluding this number, Deyalsingh said, \"So it means to achieve herd immunity, 980,000 people, which is close to 100 per cent of your adult population.\"
He said this is why \"we are making vaccines available to every adult and there will be more coming.\"
Any Pfizer vaccines that Government obtains from the United States will be dedicated only to children between 12 and 18, that is, secondary school students.
Against this background, Deyalsingh said adults should take the covid19 vaccines available to them now and not wait for the Pfizer vaccine.
\"My urge is not to do so. You may put yourself in danger.\"

Founded in 1963, the aim of the Organization of Africa Unity, the precursor of Africa Union (AU) was to safeguard the interests and independence of all African states, encourage the continent's development, and settle disputes among member states.
I agree with the President of Namibia, Dr. Hage Geingob, that African Union (AU) had achieved \"what some thought would be impossible - a free, democratic, self-governing and most importantly an Africa without incessant civil wars\" .
Indeed Africa has come of age as articulated by Nigeria's General Murtala Ramat Muhammed in his \"Africa Has Come of Age\" speech at the OAU Summit Summit on Angola which categorically mobilised African Heads of State for the recognition of the Popular Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) as the authentic government of the Angolan people contrary to the preference of United States of America and the West in general.
The chair of the Africa Union, South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa hit the nail on the head when in his anniversary speech he observed that \"As Africans we will continue to stand on the side of justice and support the people of the Western Sahara in their enduring struggle for freedom and self-determination\".
It's time for genuine collaboration and unity of purpose between African states in combating the impact of the pandemic within the new normal and within the context of the African Union's Agenda 2063.
