“We are just about half-way through week three,” she said. “As of today, a total of 7,071 vaccine doses would have been administered and that puts us at 21.4 percent of our target population. In order to reach herd immunity, 70 percent of the population have to be vaccinated, which is the equivalent of 33, 037 persons. 

So far, 5,102 doses have been administered in St. Kitts and 1,969 in Nevis.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca vaccine is administered in two doses with 10 weeks between the first and second jab. One is only deemed to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 after receiving both doses.

Persons wishing to receive the vaccine can visit any health center in St. Kitts & Nevis.
