Pfizer pediatric doses available to school groups of 10 plus students
The vaccine rollout is targetting children ages 5-11 and the shots are available at community health clinics via appointment or at the Catholic Community Centre on Monday to Friday between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
A bulletin from the Government of the Virgin Islands noted, “School groups with ten or more persons to be vaccinated can contact EPI Manager, Ms Mariana Bedeau, at the BVI Health Services Authority for onsite vaccination.”
Doses have short lifespan - Governor
Governor John J. Rankin, on announcing the availability of the doses, indicated that they have a lifespan of 10 weeks, which means there is a limited timeframe for the vaccine's availability.
"I urge that those who do want their younger children to be vaccinated to come forward now to get that first vaccination," the Governor said.
EPI Manager Ms. Bedeau can be contacted via telephone at 284-440-1671.
