The Ministry of Health, says it has intensified its data collection exercise from persons who would have been vaccinated with the COVID-19 vaccine and a group of individuals has been tasked with contacting inoculated persons via telephone to collect this information.
Data collection post-vaccination has been an ongoing exercise with the assistance of the Pan American Health Organization/World Health Organization through which the government procures all vaccines used in the Expanded Program on Immunization.
The data collected will be analysed by the Ministry of Health and shared with the public.
The findings from the analysed data will also be periodically shared with regional and international public health partners including the Caribbean Public Health Agency and PAHO/WHO.
