CABINET NOTES:<\/p>

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

The primary issue which occupied the Cabinet\u2019s attention is the Covid-19 pandemic, its impact on economic activity, and the slowing uptake of the vaccination required to combat its negative health consequences.<\/p>\n

While congratulating all those who have been playing important roles in bringing Antigua and Barbuda to zero on new Covid-19 cases, over the past three weeks of reporting, the Cabinet was quick to point out that an insufficient number of vaccinated adults still challenge the administration\u2019s vaccine program.<\/p>

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

\u201cVaccine hesitancy\u201d is a phenomenon being experienced globally; in some places, the inadequacy of supply of vaccines has prevented many countries from reaching broad swaths of their populations.<\/p>

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

That is not the case in Antigua and Barbuda where vaccines are readily available but the un-vaccinated have not been taking the multiple daily opportunities to safeguard themselves from sickness and even death.<\/p>\n

Cabinet continues to encourage all un-vaccinated adults to take the vaccine, especially as tourism resumes and many workers return to jobs that had disappeared since March 2020, when the cruise ships discontinued their visits, and very few flights entered Antigua.<\/p>
