The Medical Association of Jamaica, MAJ, is supporting calls by the People’s National Party, PNP, for the implementation of mobile vaccination sites to increase the country’s inoculation rate.
However, MAJ President Dr. Andrew Manning disagrees that the logistics of the mobile vaccine project will be easy to put together.
He says health workers will still have to work assiduously to implement a mobile vaccine program.
Hykel Nunes has more in this report.
Last week, Opposition Spokesperson on Health Dr. Morais Guy urged the Government to implement a mobile vaccination program.
Dr. Manning says the introduction of mobile vaccination has in fact been explored.
But he says the logistics of distributing the vaccine from a mobile unit will take some doing.
Dr. Manning says all areas will have to be properly thought through, if the vaccination mobile units are to be effective.
Meanwhile, the MAJ president is urging civilians to refrain from hosting protests against vaccination.
He says this will further delay the process.
