Governor Stresses Vaccine Urgency

On any international comparison, our vaccine rollout so far has been a success – over 70% of over 16-year olds have had one dose and we’re near the top of many global league tables. HSA have done a fantastic job and I thank all those in the community who have had the vaccine. However, as you know, in April the take up of the vaccine really slowed although in the last couple of days we have seen an uptick which is really positive, so perhaps some of the messages are being received.
