 Meantime, health teams were stationed at the House of Assembly, where parliamentarians and staff of parliament received their first job of the AstraZeneca vaccine. More from Jesse Laos. More parliamentarians got vaccinated this week as part of the Ministry of Health's mission to build public trust early on in its national campaign. On Thursday 4th March, a vaccination centre was set up at parliament building to accommodate. Shortly after taking his injection at that location, leader of the parliamentary opposition Hon. Philip J. Pierre reaffirmed his support of the COVID-19 vaccine. It is always my intention to take it and I want to encourage all solutions to take it because in the fight against COVID, we have to follow the science and the science says that the vaccination is a means where we can protect ourselves and mitigate against the effects of this dreaded virus. I want to encourage all solutions to follow, I want to see to the people who are most vulnerable to ensure that they follow the science and get vaccinated. Speaker of the House of Assembly Hon. Andy Daniel was also vaccinated at parliament building on Thursday. As Speaker of the House of Assembly, as one of the leaders of Insan Laos, we must all lead by example. We must take the first step so that the people, the nation will follow. And it is very important that us, the leaders of San Lucia, take that step to show San Lucia that it is in the best interest to be vaccinated. The Ministry of Health this week intensified its vaccination drive with a 13-venue schedule island-wide for senior citizens and persons with chronic health conditions. The feedback on the ground has been very good thus far. The clinics have been very heavy with a full flow throughout the day and we anticipate tomorrow as we have six clinic sites available that we will get increases in numbers. That was Chief Medical Officer Dr. Sharon Belmont-George. Dr. George adds that plans are underway to offer vaccination to the island's teachers and the tourism sector workforce in the coming weeks. The public, meanwhile, is encouraged to register urgently with their nearest Community Wellness Centre or online at hmi.govt.lc. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Layance reporting.
