Al­though T&T re­mains un­der an ad­verse weath­er alert—this has not been enough to de­ter hun­dreds of per­sons who turned out to re­ceive the Pfiz­er vac­cine, this morn­ing.

The vac­ci­na­tion of per­sons be­tween the ages of 12 to 18 years got un­der­way from 8 am to­day.

El­i­gi­ble mem­bers of the pub­lic turned out from as ear­ly as 6:30 am at some of the 14 lo­ca­tions, shel­ter­ing un­der um­brel­las, en­velopes and hood­ed jack­ets as they stood in the rain wait­ing to re­ceive the vac­cine.

At some oth­er lo­ca­tions, there were long lines of ve­hi­cles with par­ents and stu­dents seat­ed, wait­ing to be screened.

Al­though to­day’s vac­cine roll-out did not re­quire an ap­point­ment, all el­i­gi­ble per­sons had to be ac­com­pa­nied by a par­ent or guardian.

The ad­min­is­tra­tion of the Pfiz­er vac­cine be­gins to­day and will con­tin­ue through­out the week­end, from 8 am to 3 pm dai­ly.

Par­ents/guardians of cit­i­zens and/or res­i­dents be­tween the ages of 12-18 are ad­vised that their charges are el­i­gi­ble to re­ceive the Pfiz­er vac­cine re­gard­less of whether they are reg­is­tered at schools or not.

Mi­nors must be ac­com­pa­nied by a par­ent/guardian; par­ents/guardians must walk with a form of iden­ti­fi­ca­tion as well as the birth cer­tifi­cate of the child/ward and proof of re­la­tion­ship to child (guardians on­ly).
