A HIGHER percentage of doctors has received the Covid-19 vaccine when compared to nurses in Trinidad and Tobago.
This was stated by Health Minister Terrence Deyalsingh on Monday as he continued to appeal to the nursing population to get vaccinated.
Deyalsingh was speaking at the ministry’s Covid-19 virtual update.
He said, “The current level of vaccination amongst nurses is about 60% to 65%. Doctors, we had reached somewhere between 95% to 98% very early in the game.”
The minister added, “The nursing fraternity was lagging and we continue to work through the RHAs regional health authorities, give them the information and encourage them to be vaccinated.”
