This is great news. I must commend the Honourable Minister of Health, Dr. Frank Anthony for his unstinting resolve to put systems in place by encouraging everyone to use the necessary vaccines and to take
all other necessary precautions against COVID 19. I would also like to commend his super-efficient Doctors nurses and other health care workers to make this happen.
