St. Kitts and Nevis implemented its vaccine rollout plan on Monday at the Newtown Dental Clinic during a brief ceremony held as part of the Government\u2019s National COVID-19 Vaccination Rollout and Awareness Campaign Launch.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Prime Minister Dr. Timothy Harris, who was one of the first persons to take the AstraZeneca\/Oxford University vaccine against the deadly Novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) said that although a vaccine is available persons should not let their guard down as the virus is still active.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cWe feel, and we should feel proud of the accomplishments to date and even as we rejoice at this significant watershed moment, the country at large must be reminded it is not over. It is not over until we achieve herd immunity; it is not over until our neighbours achieve herd immunity,\u201d said Prime Minister Harris.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cTherefore, we must all continue to take the prescriptions given \u2013 the wearing of our masks, the hand hygiene, the physical and social distancing \u2013 we must take them to heart and abide by them even as we buildout.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Harris encouraged others to get vaccinated.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want that everyone should come forward in his or her self-interest and be vaccinated. That way you save not only your life, but you make an effort to save that of your loved ones. So, I want to invite everyone,\u201d he said, adding that the vaccine is being offered for free.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

Other ministers of the Federal Cabinet, including Deputy Prime Minister Shawn Richards and the Minister of Health Akilah Byron-Nisbett were among the more than 50 people to take the COVID-19 vaccine today. \u00a0Additionally, frontline workers, the Commissioner of Police, Hilroy Brandy, and members of the National COVID-19 Taskforce were also vaccinated.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
