Tomorrow the Close to Home mobile vaccination programme will be at the Southampton Princess from 10 am – 2 pm. On Sunday, May 23, the mobile vaccination programme will be at TCD in Hamilton from 10 am – 2 pm.

“The COVID vaccine is free,” reminded Minister of Health, Kim Wilson, JP, MP. “We also provide a free mini-bus service to take people from their homes to the mobile vaccination sites and back to their homes afterwards. Call 533-5903 between 10.00 am and 1.30 pm if you need a ride to one of the mobile vaccination sites.”

“For those people who want to hear about the COVID-19 vaccine from a trusted source, we recommend the Close to Home programme as an ideal opportunity to learn more. There are doctors on site to answer any questions that you may have.”

“Please remember that if you have been vaccinated, you are not fully immunised until two (2) weeks after your second vaccine. Being vaccinated is reassuring and the added layer of protection we need to protect ourselves. Still, we must continue to avoid the three “Cs”: closed spaces, crowded places and close contact settings.”

Each of us has a role to play in stopping the spread of the coronavirus. Follow Public Health guidelines, wear a mask, practice good hand hygiene, maintain physical distance and download the WeHealth Bermuda app. Do the research, talk with your doctor and make an informed decision about getting the COVID-19 vaccine.
