Those students attending Public and Private Secondary Schools who have not taken the vaccine are not allowed to enter onto the premises of their assigned Secondary Schools. A press statement was issued during the Cabinet meeting today to allow parents and students time to journey to any of the vaccination centres; these centres include the Multipurpose Cultural and Exhibition Centre, the Polyclinic at Villa, the All Saints, Jennings, Clare Hall and Browne\u2019s Avenue Clinics. <\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Bars and Clubs will be permitted to open from Monday 15<sup>th<\/sup> November<\/strong>; all customers must be fully vaccinated and must present their photo ID vaccination cards for entry.

Yet another 25,000 nationals and residents need to be vaccinated in order to get to community immunity. <strong>The CMO gave the Cabinet the assurance that there are sufficient vaccines in storage to complete the double vaccination of those who have had only a single dose administered<\/strong>. 19,000 doses of additional AstraZenica are expected to arrive in two weeks to supplement those in stock. The Cabinet is requesting the National Covid Technical Working Group to review the evidence and the guidelines with the intention of administering additional doses to those who require booster shots; for example, a person whose immune system is compromised, and vulnerable and high risk members of the population, will require a booster shot.<\/p><div id=\"antig-3056140469\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/discoverflow.co\/web\/antigua\" aria-label=\"ANU CVP Digital Broadband 1200x400_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1201\/h:401\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1201w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:100\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:342\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:256\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/ANU-CVP-Digital-Broadband-1200x400_1-1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1201\" height=\"401\"   \/><\/a><\/div><div id=\"antig-3737660374\" class=\"antig-content_12 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ablpag\" aria-label=\"IMG_0040\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0040.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0040.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0040.jpg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0040.jpg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/IMG_0040.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"antig-3337863547\" class=\"antig-content antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ReggaeInTheParkAntigua\" aria-label=\"lucanio\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:864\/h:1080\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 1080w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:240\/h:300\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:819\/h:1024\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 819w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:960\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/lucanio.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1080\" height=\"1350\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>iii. <strong>A Travel Advisory is to be issued shortly that would give permission to passengers arriving in Antigua and Barbuda to take an approved rapid-test<\/strong> effective November 17 and to be fully vaccinated in order to gain entry.

He also reported on the Commission created by Antigua and Barbuda and Tuvalu to compliment the effort, by including \u201closs and damage\u201d in the agreements that are likely to emerge from the Conference. The Prime Minister reminded the Cabinet that approximately $220,000,000.00 are required to place Barbuda in the position that it was before Hurricane Irma; yet, only $20,000,000.00 have been accessed thus far and much of it borrowed.

There was some evidence presented that some private businesses were not enforcing the mandates requiring them to request a show of proof of vaccination; failure to so act will result in a penalty of $5,000.00 to apply. The next publication of the public health advisory will include the advisory. There appears to be a relaxation of the mask-wearing, sanitizing and social distancing by some businesses and their customers.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2.ii. <strong>The Minister of Finance reported that $10,000,000.00 have been dispatched to the Social Security Board<\/strong> to meet their obligations for the months of September and October.
