More weekend vaccinations – Persons due 2nd dose AstraZeneca urged to attend

Jamaicans are set to benefit this weekend from another in a series of vaccination activities as the Ministry moves to realise a 65% vaccination target for the population by March 2022. Vaccination sites will continue offering 1^st and 2^nd doses of AstraZeneca and Johnson and Johnson vaccines. Following this weekend’s schedule, fixed sites will operate throughout the week, with the National Arena open to the public on Monday, September 27 and Tuesday, September 28.

Persons now due the second dose of AstraZeneca, or who may be due in coming weeks, will have their appointments scheduled and should look out for a text message with confirmation details. If this message is not received, those due their second dose of the vaccine should proceed to the nearest site for the jab. Persons are not fully vaccinated until they have received the TWO doses.

Information on this weekend’s vaccination sites is available online at https://vaccination.moh.gov.jm. Details are also available below.

The Ministry of Health and Wellness continues to advise members of the public to get vaccinated. To do so, Jamaicans are encouraged to make their vaccination appointments online at www.moh.gov.jm or by calling the Vaccination Call Centre at 888-ONE-LOVE (888-663-5683).

Members of the public who have their appointments confirmed should visit the vaccination site with their government-issued identification, or a letter from the Justice of the Peace. Those due a second dose will also need to take their vaccination card.

Vaccination Sites: September 25 – 28, 2021
