Cabinet Notes: The Cabinet invited seven experts from the Ministry of Health including the Chief Medical Officer, the Principal Nursing Officer, the Chief Health Inspector, the Ministry\u2019s Technology Officer, and three members of the Technical Committee responsible for communicating new information to the public.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The CMO shared the plan for vaccinating approximately 80,000 adults in 35 days. Five teams, each consisting of five staff and nurses, will be dispatched to several centers each day of the week (Saturday and Sunday also) during March and the first week of April 2021, to inoculate as many as 250 to 550 people each, daily for a period of 35 days (5 X 500=2,500 X 35=87,500).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Two days will be dedicated to Barbuda in order to vaccinate approximately 1,000 adults living there. This approach will allow the Ministry to achieve herd immunity in the state; that accomplishment will in turn make Antigua and Barbuda very safe, though the Covid-19 protocols will continue to apply.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>\n

It is anticipated that the 40,000 vials of vaccine will be capable of vaccinating 40,000 men and women.<\/p>

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

 <\/p>\n

The medicines will arrive Antigua this weekend. Another 100,000 vials will be required within two months in order to provide the second inoculation which will bring 100% efficacy to the population of recipients of the vaccine. The Serum Institute of India will likely provide 100,000 vials as requested<\/p>\n
