Low vaccination coverage in many countries of the Caribbean must be urgently addressed to stop the spread of COVID-19 and protect the most vulnerable, warned PAHO Director, Carissa F. Etienne, with health care workers and the elderly remaining particularly at risk.<\/p>

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

Out of the 13 countries and territories in the Americas that have not yet reached WHO\u2019s 2021 goal of 40% vaccination coverage, 10 are in the Caribbean, she said at a media briefing today.<\/p>\n

Vaccine hesitancy, a lack of vaccination centers in remote areas, insufficient staff numbers, and limited cold-chain infrastructure remain huge barriers to vaccination in many islands, but we now have the tools \u201cto turn the tide on vaccinations in the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>

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

With 700 million people now vaccinated in Latin America and the Caribbean, there are \u201creal-word data to show that vaccines are safe and effective against COVID-19,\u201d the PAHO Director said. But interventions must now be tailored to the needs of those that remain vulnerable in each country.<\/p>

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

In some countries, this means ensuring that health care workers are provided with the information they need to get vaccinated, including on potential side effects and how long the benefits of the vaccine last.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are legitimate questions that must be acknowledged and addressed so that we can better protect our health care workers and everyone else,\u201d Dr. Etienne said.<\/p>

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

In other countries, PAHO is working with governments to ensure that vaccination centers are closer to the people who need them the most, and that hours of operation are convenient for those that work.<\/p>\n

The Director also urged countries to work with trusted voices and community leaders to create spaces for dialogue to address concerns around vaccination.<\/p>

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

A recent survey by PAHO and UNICEF, supported by USAID, showed that 51% of vaccine hesitant people in the Eastern Caribbean were open to changing their minds after seeing more scientific and medical evidence to support vaccination.<\/p>

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

\u201cDialogue, trust and outreach are the tools we must rely on to get more vaccines into arms and ultimately save lives,\u201d the Director said.<\/p>\n

Dr. Etienne also made a special appeal – \u201cAs a doctor from the Caribbean who has dedicated her life to public health, the best decision you can make for your health right now is to get a vaccine against COVID,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pandemic is not over, and a new variant can emerge at any point.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have the power as a community to overcome these barriers and reduce the toll of this virus on our people.\u201d<\/p>\n

Turning to the COVID-19 situation in the region, new cases declined by 28% from the previous week, to 2.2 million. Deaths also fell for the first time since the beginning of the Omicron wave to 29,000 \u2013 a 9% drop.<\/p>\n

Overall cases dropped by a third across North America, and while deaths declined in the United States, the rates remain among the highest seen during the pandemic.<\/p>\n

With the exception of Honduras, deaths also dropped by 17% in Central America though Nicaragua experienced a surge in new infections.<\/p>\n

In South America, deaths decreased by 13%, with spikes remaining in some areas, including Chile.<\/p>\n

In the Caribbean, new infections fell by 44%, yet eight countries and territories reported an increase in deaths.<\/p>\n
