Pfizer, J&J COVID-19 vaccines now available to VI residents
The Bubble initiative was designed to enhance the current COVID-19 response and mitigation efforts of the Ministry of Health and Social Development, by providing further options and adjusting entry protocols that would support persons wishing to participate.
Travel to USVI required
“Interested residents will be required to travel to St. John, US Virgin Islands to be vaccinated as part of this initiative as due to logistical and regulatory requirements, the named vaccines cannot be brought into the Territory,” a release from the Government Information Service (GIS) said.
VI Minister for Health and Social Development, Hon Carvin Malone said the new initiative is in collaboration with the Government of the USVI to reduce some of the challenges that are preventing persons from vaccinating against this deadly disease.
“Some persons did not want the AstraZeneca vaccine and other persons who were not able to be vaccinated for other medical or logistical reasons can now protect themselves with access to the Pfizer and Johnson and Johnson vaccines through this initiative,” he said.
Information on the initiative indicated that 12–17-year-olds will be given priority and these individuals must have a parent or legal guardian accompany them.
“If a parent or legal guardian is not traveling with the child, a notarized letter by the parent allowing the person to accompany the child must be presented,” it noted.
Persons to fund cost of trip
In addition, an official birth certificate must be presented at the time of vaccination to the USVI Department of Health for each child and the child must have a valid passport and ordinarily meet immigration requirements to enter the USVI
“You must be able to fund all costs associated with getting the vaccine including transportation and logistical costs,” the release stated.
The Health Ministry says Interested persons can register by contacting 852-7525 weekdays between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. More information on other travel exemptions can be found here.

It’s going to be for a while this is the kick start of the beast system (forerunner)
Rest assured Jesus is coming with all his glory to put a stop to this destination hell.
This is where the beast system enrolls (gov ) will follow and put things in place is 2014 this virus was being created unleashed 2019 why ?
They had to wait in certain signs some ask why now well that’s the answer nothing happens before it’s time.
Revelation has been opened:..
If these people are so sure that anti-covid-19 are the mark of the beast, why allowed them to work close with vaxxers in the work place. If the unvaxxers, some, become infected by the covid-19 virus, why then should vaxxers risk their own lives to save theirs, when the unvaxxers have blatantly refusing madical help by use of anti-covid-19 method.
The Bible says that stubbornness is as the sin of witchcraft. But I say that to a proven defence against the killer decease, covid-19 is evidence of a suicidal mind. In spite of the fierceness of the battle, we should never let go of hope. God is life and love.
Do you know if you will die of Covid?
I think i heard the minister say you cant take the vaccine if you have covid and if you have had covid you should wait 28days after before taking that vaccine.
Anyone attending schools wear mask.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has collected data that suggest fully vaccinated Americans who contract the Delta variant carry similar levels of the virus as unvaccinated people who contract the variant.
The finding suggests that people who have gotten Covid-19 shots and then become ill with Delta can transmit the virus to others more readily than seen with other versions of the coronavirus.
The hotly anticipated research helped convince the agency to revise its guidance on mask-wearing earlier this week, when it said vaccinated people should wear masks indoors in areas with high levels of Covid-19 transmission. But CDC had not made the data underlying its decision public until now.
The agency worked with the Massachusetts health department to track a cluster of coronavirus cases in Barnstable County, on Cape Cod, that emerged in the days following July Fourth holiday.
Seventy-four percent of the 469 cases that CDC investigated occurred in fully vaccinated individuals. Genomic sequencing of samples from 119 of 133 individuals in the study showed they had contracted the Delta variant. The vast majority of the vaccinated people in the cluster — about 79 percent — developed clear Covid-19 symptoms, CDC said.
Five people in that group were hospitalized, four of whom were vaccinated. But none died, the study found.
CDC also examined the viral load in 127 of the sick vaccinated people and found it was similar to the level seen in 84 unvaccinated people who contracted the variant. That suggests the vaccinated group was just as able to spread the virus as the unvaccinated group — a finding that prompted CDC to once again recommend that people in areas of high transmissions wear masks indoors regardless of vaccination status.
