 The vaccination campaign launched in St. Lucia on the 17th of February 2021 was rolled out in a phased approach. Phase 1A and 1B comments with the highest risk individuals being vaccinated first, including frontline workers and individuals with chronic non-communicable diseases as well as the elderly. Immunization manager Techleger Baptiste says it is important to protect the most vulnerable in the society. And in phase 1B, the focus at that time were persons in the elderly population, persons living with comorbid conditions. And I just want to bring back the point that Dr. Belma made just earlier in her presentation. We note the comorbid conditions that most of our deaths, you know, that would have the comorbid conditions that were present. So we had persons living with hybrid pressure, diabetes, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, heart disease. And it is very important for us that persons living with comorbid conditions that they are protected because we know that they are at very high risk of developing the very severe form of the disease. And of course we know that could lead to death. The Ministry of Health and Wellness indicated that the response and turnout has been encouraging with a total of 14,708 individuals getting vaccinated to date. The immunization manager explained that the ministry will soon be moving into phase 2 of the campaign and urge everyone to pre-register. We are at a point where there's a need for us to reach out, to move a little further and to reach out to other persons who are at medium risk. And as such we are going to be moving on to phase 2 where we will be reaching out to other persons who on a daily basis by nature of their job have very high interaction and are also at risk. And I speak of our hotel workers, I speak about the commercial sector, also persons from working in the hotel industry and we will be reaching out to them. So we are encouraging those persons of course to visit the various community wellness, community vaccination sites. Once they announce they can access the vaccine at the sites that are nearest to them. That was immunization manager Tekla Shabbatiste.
