Some 400 ranks of the Guyana Defence Force (GDF) have been deployed to assist with the countrywide COVID-19 vaccination campaign; the country on Thursday surpassed 50,000 vaccinations.
According to the Minister of Health Dr Frank Anthony, ranks trained in the medical field will assist with the actual vaccination while others will assist with documentation and the COVID-19 vaccine education programme.
The Minister explained, during the daily COVID-19 Update on Thursday, that with the added personnel, the vaccination drive will be accelerated.

The ranks will be dispersed across regions at the various vaccinations sites.
“We are happy that the GDF has allowed us to get access to these personnel because they would certainly enhance the accelerated roll out that we have,” Dr Anthony said.
Meanwhile, Advisor to the Ministry of Health, Dr Leslie Ramsammy in a Facebook post on Thursday said by next week Guyana will be ranked at number one of CARICOM countries for vaccinations.
“This means that 10 out of every 100 adult Guyanese have received a first dose. This puts Guyana ahead of most countries around the world. We want to ensure that we vaccinate another 100, 000 by the end of April,” Dr Ramsammy stated.
