Mandatory vaccination for private sector businesses with more than 5 employees

17
  1. The Cabinet agreed that the Public Health Regulations will be amended to mandate that all private sector employers who employ more than five employees will be required to have all staff vaccinated in order for them to continue working.

Meantime, The Information Technology Manager at the Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre, Mr. Osbert Josiah, was also invited to update the Cabinet on the progress of the country’s vaccination card.

Under a programme jointly managed by the Ministries responsible for Health and Information Technology, the country is moving towards a card that has a QR Code that stores the holder’s vaccination information and allows for quick and easy authentication.

The Cabinet was treated to a demonstration of the technology. Essentially, the QR Code, when scanned, gives authorized agencies access to a live database with real-time vaccination status.

Therefore, when a person receives a booster jab, that information is updated and almost available almost immediately.

The country’s vaccine card system has been receiving commendations from all over the world as Antigua and Barbuda is one of the first countries to implement such a system.

It will be deployed for use within the next week to two weeks. Cabinet commended the team and agreed that the partnership between the two Ministries is an example of best practices that should be emulated within the wider Public Service

  1. This jab like is going on forever “when a person receives a booster ” 2 shots gives protection they stated, next 3 shots, then 4shots. One shot every two weeks

  2. This present government, A LABOUR GOVERNMENT, HAS BETRAYED THE WORKERS in Antigua & Barbuda.

    Imagine a Labour Government passed regulations that mandate employees get vaccinated or LOSE THEIR EQUITY THAT THEY HAVE PUT INTO A BUSINESS PLACE.

    Take a moment and let that soak in.

    I WOULD HAVE WORKED (BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS) FOR A COMPANY FOR TWENTY (20) YEARS AND JUST LIKE THAT, BECAUSE I DECIDE NOT TO PUT SOMETHING INTO MY BODY THAT I DO NOT WANT, I LOSE MY BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS THAT I SACRIFICED FOR AN EMPLOYER FOR TWENTY (20) YEARS.

    THIS PRESENT LABOUR GOVERNMENT HAVE MADE IS POSSIBLE FOR AN EMPLOYER TO PROFIT FROM MY BLOOD, SWEAT & TEARS AND I GET NO COMPENSATION.

    IT IS LIKE SLAVERY. OUR ANCESTORS WAS ENSLAVED AND MADE TO WORK FOR NOTHING AND IN THE END THEY HAD TO PAY THE MASSA FOR THEIR FREEDOM BECAUSE THE MASSA LOST PROPERTY.

    Take a moment and let that soak in too.

    They could not find it in their heart to make sure that I receive COMPENSATION/SEVERANCE for my blood, sweat & tears that I sacrificed for twenty (20) years.

    I COULD NEVER VOTE FOR THIS LABOUR PARTY AGAIN. NEVER.

    • Ok Ok we get the point. I was UPP and would vote for them also. If you and I live in the same constituency then it is even steven!!

  3. I live in city west and i dnt care who is running against this man i will vote for them just to get this government out. I will never forgive them for this make. Me put what i dnt want in my body or cant work

  4. How does this make any credible sense? But anyway carry on cuz the same ppl taking these jabs are the same ones that bashed us calling us antivaxers and conspiracy theorists, look what it come to now. Told y’all nothing is going back to normal, just say no. But they just made things worst for who knew and rather much dem self cuz they gonna tek jook till dem dead

    • You thought you got aware with just a sore shoulder for 2 weeks? Roll up again! Anybody ever consider the real reason why they exempted nurses? Maybe it’s because they have seen firsthand what these “vaccines” do. You can make the excuse that the ordinary man can be fooled but when someone on the inside makes a certain medical decision we must take note. If the fireman a wet dung fuhee house, why would I not do the same?

  5. Again, and again, yet again!

    …nothing, as in #no #thing
    …’tis, the only thing
    …that, happens by mistake
    …as, #time is left in its own wake
    …all filled #Spaces are by
    …#Design!
    …#Default!
    …#Destiny!

    #Mandates to control HUE-MANITY are nothing new. Isn’t this what religion and religious Orders do?
    The Government is just another tentacle of a religious order, sending forth their commandments.

    We folks, this is it. Whether ABLP, UPP, DNA or any other political Party which controls the handle on the Ruling Arm of the Government, #MANDATES even though they may vary slightly would still have to be put in place, to appease the INVESTORS #WHO do not want to lose more money, than necessary on their investments.

    Now, here comes a sharp rise in food and fuel prices to the shortage in manufactured goods to the stagnant/slow supply chain, some people and Nations could be cause up in the Perfect Economic Storm and the only #LIFELINE, #Floatation Device to bring them through this Storm are VACCINES.
    It’s tough…but this is when the rough get going forging new paths.

  6. WHATEVER, All just mouth in here, soon as dem give are you the understand money in de red t-shirt dem are you sell back are you soul again to the red cool aid. Low- mindedness is a sickness.

    Mark my words.

    • WHATEVER, All just mouth in here, soon as dem give are you the underhand money in de red t-shirt dem are you sell back are you soul again to the red cool aid. Low- mindedness is a sickness.

      Mark my words.

  7. Religion is one aspect, but putting your trust in the Lord God is the ultimate hope of man. Put not your trust in these men, so-called leaders. They are liars.,Psa.116:11 and Joh.8 :44. Notice with whom they are associated, their father the devil. Be not afraid. Stand firm.

    • @Rev Dr. F. Mason…🥸my good Rev. Dr. F. Mason – I can just say Free Mason(FreeMason’s) and others would lump you with the #conspiracists for you to make such claims.
      To be honest, and putting all jokes aside, many folks are caught in a #Storm which in their opinion have no end, so much so, that suicides to drug overdose, mental and physical health issues are rapidly increasing, since, they’re seeing no way out, nor no ‘lord $ savior’ falling from the sky nor rising from the sea.
      Therefore, unless your ‘lord and savior’ shows up like Santa Clause in August, the only ‘lord & savior’ many will and are putting their trust and faith in is #Allopathic #Vaccines, now being mandated through well established and organized RE-legions like Big Pharna and Big Governments.

  8. WEF 4th Industrial Revolution: It will be a vaccinated economy, you will be on the blockchain.
    B×C×D= AHH…Biological knowledge multipled by Computing Power multiple by Data equals the Ability to Hack Humans.
    This is the ultimate goal. The jab is just the first step towards the Transhumanism agenda.

  9. We must be ready for mass protest, It’s an evil agenda and a spiritual warfare. CDC is now the government of St. Lucia and the Caribbean at large. All leaders are just puppets. Revelation told us. One world government and soon power will be given to Rome. Thank God Jesus, we must not give in to the oppressors.

  10. The Cabinet Mandated that all Government Workers be Vaccinated.Now they are take it to another level. Telling all privately Owned Businesses with five or more employees that they must be Vaccinated in order to be employed. Those are Private Enterprises,they should not give it damn thought.Let the Courts decide all they way to the Privy Council.ALL PRIVATE EMPLOYEES GO OUT THERE AND MARCH AROUND ST.JOHNS,BLOCK THE DAMN TRAFFIC,SHUT THE CITY DOWN.THEY CANNOT DO YOU ONE DAMN THING.

  11. 👍@ Truth. Anybody notice how the vaccinated people gone quiet? You people should come out and speak up. “Be your brother’s keeper” and tell the truth about how you really feel.
