(PAHO) – Thanks to Antigua and Barbuda, and St. Kitts and Nevis, the Region of the Americas is the only World Health Organization (WHO) region to have exceeded in 2023 the vaccination coverages reported in 2019, prior to the commencement of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In recognition of this achievement, PAHO Director Dr. Jarbas Barbosa sent letters of appreciation to Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda, The Hon. Gaston Browne, and Prime Minister of Saint Kitts and Nevis, The Hon. Dr. Terrance Drew.

In his correspondence, Dr. Barbosa commended the countries “for the encouraging results in routine immunization coverage obtained in the last year, as reported in the joint WHO and the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) Estimates of National Immunization Coverage (WUENIC).”

Dr. Barbosa described the nations’ commitment to vaccination as noble.

“The implementation of solid vaccination programs unequivocally represents one of the noblest commitments to the population, especially children: protecting their health and ensuring that the economy, labor, and education, among other areas, are not held back by vaccine-preventable diseases and epidemics.”

Both nations were reminded that “it is necessary to continue making progress in order to return the Region of the Americas to the top of the global ranking in immunization coverage, maintain our achievements, and advance in the strategy to eliminate communicable diseases.”

Dr. Barbosa said it is extremely important to ensure good coverage in all areas, and to use internal analysis to identify the population groups with the lowest levels of vaccination uptake and compliance with vaccination schedules.

For this reason, PAHO/WHO provides technical cooperation with innovative strategies to identify these groups and the barriers they face in accessing vaccination services.

Dr. Amalia Del Riego, PAHO/WHO Representative for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean Countries (ECC), expressed her pride in the achievements of the two ECC nations.

Underscoring the dedication and commitment of health professionals in our region, Dr. Del Riego reaffirmed the commitment of PAHO to “continue its mandate of strengthening and supporting vaccination programs.”

  1. I can guarantee that 100% of the current Antigua population is going to die in the upcoming years. Sad that the vaccines and their devastation was forced on us.

  2. I hope when they start noticing the increases in ADD, ADHD, autism, allergies, ear infections, tonsillitis, eczema and many
    many more conditions that on one will associate with being vaccinated, they’ll start to realize that we’ve been LIED to about how dangerous some of the illnesses they are vaccinated against are. For example measles, when I was a child, it was a mild illness that we all got and got over. I particularly have a problem with giving a 24 hrs. infant a hepatitis B vaccine if there is NO risk factor. Hepatitis B is contracted thru sexually contact or thru infected blood. The only newborn that should receive a hep B shot after birth is if the mother is a carrier of the hepatitis B virus. And what’s worst, a newborn child doesn’t have a fully developed immune system yet. That is what they have to use aluminum in the vaccine to try to elicit a immune response. Nature allows newborns to get passive immunity from their mothers breast milk.
    Later in life, when people develop Dementia /Alzheimer’s aluminium in the brain from vaccines as well as cooking in aluminum pots/pans and foil accounts for a lot of it.

    I would advise young people who are having children to read these books: Dissolving Illusion, disease, vaccines and the forgotten history — and or Turtles All The way Down vaccines, science and myths — to see the other side of the story we’re never told…so you can make an informed decision.

  3. Criminals congratulates their HITMAN…now this blackies as. Licker can sleep real good.

    Imagine been a parent of this piece of shit traitors of mankind..the white masters doing a great job!!!

  4. It’s a real real shame that the Pan American Health Organisation (PAHO) and also the World Health Organisation (WHO) has lost so much credibility since the Covid-19 vaccine fiasco, that has seen so much adverse reactions and sudden deaths that still devastates the Caribbean region.

    SOMETHING THEY DARE NOT ADDRESS

    Vaccination programmes have been – in the main -essential for the betterment of mankind in the past, especially prior to the worldwide Covid-19 fiasco. However, both these organisations will have great difficulty persuading us that what they are now drug-pushing is now “safe and effective”.

    A REAL SHAME …

  5. Questions for my fellow Antiguans.
    How are the Rasta children managing to survive without vaccines? Are there major outbreaks of infectious diseases in thier communities?

    The studies that claims there are no links between vaccines and autism are payed for by the pharmaceutical companies that sells vaccines.
    Independent studies that has nothing to gain yields different results.

    Chidhood Vaccines……..Autism Rates
    1983 … 10…………………. 1 in 10,000
    2013 … 32…………………. 1 in 88
    2022 … 74………………….. 1 in 36

    Understand that some shots are 3 in 1.. eg
    DTaP is: Diphtheria, Tetanus & Pertussis
    MMR is: Measles. Mumps, Rubella.
    Some vaccines requires 3-4 doses/shots…
    Hepatitis B, first dose within 24 hours of birth — second dose 1-3 months after the 1st dose — third dose 5-12 months after the 2nd dose.

    Children gets 23 vaccines from birth to 18 months… Compliments of the USA.

    Why should any Antigua feel proud of this
    kind of assault on innocent children? Assuming the Antiguan schedule is similar to the US. Perhaps with the exception of the annual flu jab and maybe the RSV jab.

    It is criminal, imo!
