COVID vaccine boosters slated for implementation in BVI next year
The BVI is seeking to ramp up its efforts at fighting off the COVID-19 virus by implementing even more vaccination initiatives next year.
“One area of emphasis in 2022 would be preparation for the implementation of COVID-19 vaccine boosters,” Premier Andrew Fahie announced during his budget speech yesterday.
The Premier also announced that this will be coupled with the vaccination of school-aged children, using the Pfizer vaccine, but he noted that this will only be done with the permission of parents.
The territory was previously assisted in its vaccination efforts for a small fraction of locally-based children by the neighbouring US Virgin Islands.

COVID-19 still a live threat
The Premier also boasted about the capacity of the territory’s COVID-19 testing lab.
“As a matter of fact, our lab is so certified, so efficient, that despite the challenges, we have been able to assist many of our Caribbean brothers and sisters with making sure that we help run their tests and also give results so that they also could have stayed on the cutting edge of their economy and help their visitors,” Premier Fahie said.
COVID-19, the Premier said, is still a live threat so the BVI Health Services Authority and other health stakeholders will continue working to keep the BVI safe.
He reminded persons that the territory suffered a deadly COVID-19 surge between June and August of this year, which saw its positive numbers rise to more than 1,600 persons, and left several deaths in its wake.
Premier Fahie also encouraged persons to continue with preventative measures against COVID-19 such as mask-wearing, hand washing and social distancing.
At present, more than 16,000 of those persons in the British Virgin Islands have been fully vaccinated while more than 1,700 are partially vaccinated.

This is just the beginning. Lot’s more to come.
Soon God wins
Why are we not hearing anything about adverse reactions in the BVI? This information is published in the most highly vaccinated countries.People should be fully informed when participating in any medical trials.(Truthfully)
Perhaps because there have been no serious adverse reactions?
If there had, there would have been crying and parades
Too bad we only had to suffer through 38 needless funerals
Perhaps you should find out what treatments these 38 needless funeral persons were given.Were they given Remdesivir ? Which doctors around the world was ask to prescribe to covid patients and later found out it was killing them instead of saving them.Honest doctors around the world who care about humanity risk there jobs and came out and told the truth.Now as of September 2021 the WHO has warned hospitals to stop using that treatment. Since nothing is said here about mrna jab effects, people should start doing there own private testing after six months of the jab to check there red blood cells and also for HIV because findings are very terrifying in the highly vaccinated countries.
Remdesivir is over $3000 per treatment course. If you’re rich, and want to gamble your life and wait until you’re in the hospital to be treated, have at it hoss.
Meanwhile, vaccinations are free and largely prevent persons from being hospitalised.
All I have to say is ….”NOT A $HIT”
And it starts lol wish yall well set of demons
Recognize Natural Immunity. There is no scientific reason to deny natural immunity. When we had the surge in cases it was said by our epidemiologist that the real number of cases in the community was exponential to what was detected.
In fact, even countries with higher vax rates are admitting that those who have had the virus and recovered with natural immunity are the only ones who are not vulnerable to Covid. We all know by now that the jabs and the boosters are short lived. Follow the truth, not the narrative set by Global Pharma.
Soon the boostered will be given preferences over the double vaccinated…And the double vaccinated would become the unvaccinated… And the beat goes on… Is there such a thing as fully vaccinated any more?
Why you worried? You’re not going to get it anyway.
@ Nonya
Yes you are right I will never get it. I’ll make my sacrifice: Travel restrictions, pay more money, more quarantine time , 4-5 covid tests in a week, no clubs, no bars, all because I decided that I do not want an experimental drug in my body. Thank God I work for myself or I may have to sacrifice my job too. Why? A experimental drug that is not even a vaccine. CDC actually changed the meaning of the word vaccine to fit these experimental drugs.
I wonder how many persons would be up for the booster. Interesting days ahead.
Gove them an inch they take a yard…Give them a yard they take a mile…Once a Man and twice a child…Everything is just for a while..
This is good news.
Jesus Christ is Lord and he is coming for his people, who had leftedc up there hands iniquity,we who are son’s of God with clean hands and a pure hearts ?
Huh?
Thank you UK as I guess that is who is giving us the booster and the vaccine for our children not the government
Why can’t we just say thank you
If Bill Gates and his accomplices aint make enough money from vaccine sales.why they dont leave us to hell alone..I am fully vax I am not taking no third shot,
Actually if you don’t take the booster, you wont be “fully vaccinated”. So welcome to the club ?
