 The Government of St. Lucia continues to demonstrate its commitment to keeping the population safe while fighting the coronavirus. As part of St. Lucia's arsenal, the Ministry of Health and Wellness commenced the National Vaccination Campaign with the aim of adding an increased layer of protection for the citizenry. Assistant Principal Nursing Officer and Immunization Manager, Teclish Abatis, explained that the Government continues to work assiduously to ensure that adequate vaccines are procured. At the start of the campaign, of course, we received a generous donation of 25,000 doses of vaccines from the Government of India in Phase 1. We also had generous donations from our sister islands in the region. The Government of St. Lucia continues to procure vaccines. We know of the COVAX facility through that mechanism. St. Lucia, of course, has received two batches of vaccines amounting to 50,400 doses out of the allocated 74,400 doses from the COVAX facility. We expect the food batch of vaccines, which is 24,000 doses, sometime in early June, either the first or the second week of June. The Government of St. Lucia also has procured 100,000 doses of vaccines just to ensure that vaccines is available and is accessible. And that shipment of vaccine we expect very soon. The Immunization Manager noted that the aim is to achieve herd immunity where at least 70% of the population has been fully vaccinated. Our target is to achieve at least 70% coverage and we have a target of about four months to get to that. I mean, it is very important for us to return to some level of normalcy and of course it can't just happen this way. We know that public measures such as wearing our masks, keeping our distance, our physical distance, ensuring that we sanitize, this alone is not enough and it is important that the majority of our population has this level of protection, get vaccinated, have that level of protection and will take us to a point where we can regain some level of normalcy in our lives. The national vaccination campaign was recently bolstered to include mobile and pop-up clinics in high-traffic areas where individuals can access to get vaccinated. This jabatis stated was as a result of the slow uptake of the first dose of the vaccine. The Ministry of Health has decided to ramp up its community vaccination outreach and that is to include the mobile pop-up vaccination clinics that would have commenced from last weekend. So from last weekend, we are now moving, we are actually in addition to our regular vaccination sites that are ongoing throughout the weeks. These mobile sites will be going into communities, so we actually bring vaccination to the people and we're targeting high areas with high traffic, especially on a weekend, the Fridays and the Saturdays. So from last weekend and moving on, you will be seeing these mobile pop-up vaccination clinics at various high-traffic areas across the island.
